Once again, the Ministry of Defence Malaysia (MINDEF) is pleased to lend its support to the 12th Defence Services Asia Exhibition and Conference (DSA), from April 19 to 22, 2010, which will be held at the Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur. The staging of DSA 2010 is most timely. Joint ventures and collaborations between world class OEMS and local defence & security industry players which are currently underway will pave the way forward and provide invaluable opportunities for the local defence and security manufacturing industries. This will also strengthen industrial ties towards creating economic growth for our future generations. One of the effective platforms through which MINDEF hopes to promote and enhance the industry, is through events such as DSA.
