Strengthening defense capabilities and ensuring national security are among the priority areas of Azerbaijan’s state policy.
“Operative Information Center-OMM” reports that President Ilham Aliyev made the statement in an address to participants of the 6th Azerbaijan International Defense Exhibition, “ADEX 2026,” and the 15th anniversary International Exhibition of Internal Security, Protection and Rescue Equipment, “Securex Caspian 2026.”
The head of state said that Azerbaijan’s defense industry, which has made significant progress as a result of consistent measures, has entered a qualitatively new stage and substantially expanded its production capabilities:
“Defense products manufactured by local enterprises not only play an important role in supplying our Armed Forces, but also stand out for their competitiveness in international markets and attract considerable interest from relevant agencies in various countries. Azerbaijan’s achievements in the defense industry contribute to strengthening the country’s military and technical potential and deepening cooperation with friendly and partner states.”
International defense and security exhibitions provide a platform for presenting military equipment, protection systems and rescue technologies, while also supporting cooperation between manufacturers, government institutions and international partners.
