International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) has grown from strength to strength in a short span of seven years. The Exhibition has grown both in size and stature and reflects Pakistan’s achievements in this relatively new field.

Defence preparedness for defeating present and emergent threats is the best way to preserve peace. Our defence industry has made strides in achieving self reliance in defence related technology. Towards this end, IDEAS-2008 presents affordable solutions ranging from mid to hi-tech. I wish IDEAS-2008 success.
