The First International Defense Industries Forum was held in Kyiv with the participation of the President of Ukraine.

The event was attended by representatives of 252 leading world companies of the defense-industrial complex from America, Asia, Europe and Australia - more than 30 countries in total. From Ukraine, representatives of the largest enterprises of the state's defense industry took part in the forum, including companies - members of NAUDI, whose products are currently actively used in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and are of great interest to foreign partners.

During the panel discussions, the forum participants discussed security and defense challenges during wartime, the defense industry under conditions of aggression, production and supply chain management of ammunition, armored vehicles and artillery, and other pressing issues. Also, during the forum, a ceremony of redemption of the "Weapons of Victory" stamp was held.

The forum gave a powerful impetus to joint production and cooperation between Ukrainian and foreign military-industrial complex enterprises in order to create a new and powerful arsenal for Ukraine and all defenders of international law.
