SEOUL, April 20 (Bernama-Yonhap) -- South Korea will run a promotion booth at a major defence exhibition in Malaysia this week aimed at promoting homegrown arms products eyeing entry into the Southeast Asian market, Yonhap News Agency reported citing the state arms procurement agency.
The Defence Services Asia (DSA) 2026, scheduled for a four-day run from Monday to Thursday in Kuala Lumpur, will be attended by the Defence Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) and the Korea Research Institute for Defense Technology Planning and Advancement.
The DSA is the largest arms exhibition in Asia, hosted by Malaysia's defence ministry, bringing together some 1,400 defence firms and government and military officials from around 60 countries.
This year, eight South Korean defence firms will showcase a range of new products featuring advanced technology, such as hull-mounted sonars for minesweepers, underwater drones and artificial intelligence-based command decision support systems.
DAPA also plans to cooperate with the state-run Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency to facilitate consultations between foreign buyers and local defense firms as part of its bid to support arms exports overseas.
