Ladies and gentlemen!

On behalf of the Ministry of Defense and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan and on my own behalf, I welcome you and am pleased to announce the holding of the V International Exhibition of Arms and Military-Technical Equipment “KADEX - 2018”, which will be held from May 23 to 26, 2018 in Astana.

This is the first exhibition held under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Domestic and foreign enterprises of the military-industrial complex and space industry, leading design bureaus and research institutes will take part in it.

Over the years of the KADEX exhibition, it has rightfully become one of the world's leading exhibition venues for demonstrating weapons, military and special equipment, and technologies in the field of information security.

On the sidelines of the KADEX - 2018 exhibition, the International Forum “Space Days in Kazakhstan” will be held for the first time, which will become one of the central dialogue platforms of the exhibition.

The forum will include an extensive scientific and business program, which will be held in the format of plenary and sectional sessions, conferences, round tables, which will allow specialists from all countries to exchange views on topical issues of defense and security, the development of global astronautics, as well as discuss problems of ensuring cybersecurity at the present stage.

Guests and participants of the exhibition will be able to get acquainted with the latest achievements and promising scientific developments of enterprises of the military-industrial complex and the space sector. Particular emphasis at the exhibition will be placed on the development of electronic systems, communication systems and weapons control, and the search for modern solutions in the field of information security.

The practical result of all this should be the conclusion of mutually beneficial contracts, the signing of agreements and memorandums, which in turn will contribute to the development of partnerships in the field of military-technical cooperation, cyber security and space exploration.

I invite everyone to participate in the V International Exhibition of Arms and Military-Technical Equipment “KADEX - 2018”.

I am confident that the KADEX-2018 exhibition will become a large-scale event for the domestic defense-industrial complex and the country’s space enterprises, and will be held at a high level.

I wish the participants and guests of this event productive work and high achievements!

Sincerely, Minister of Defense and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan B. Atamkulov
