India asks friendly nations to join hands at aero show

Pushing to position Aero-India as a prime event for the aerospace sector, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today called upon like-minded nations to join hands to explore strengths and capabilities for strategic and tactical needs.

Chairing the ‘Ambassadors’ Round-Table’ as a prelude to Aero-India, Rajnath said, “Aerospace is the new frontier of military dominance, which acts as strategic deterrence.” Some 150 friendly countries were invited for the roundtable today. He argued that the current security environment had multiple conflicts and challenges.

Aero-India, a biennial event, is to be conducted in Bengaluru from February 10-14. It attracts a large number of exhibitors from the world’s leading industries in the field of aerospace and defence.
