The Seoul International Aerospace and Defense Exhibition 2017 officially kicked off with Republic of Korea President Moon Jae-in welcoming everyone to the event during the Opening Ceremony at Seoul Airport, Oct. 17, 2017.
“I hope this event will serve as a form of exchange and cooperation to pursue shared security and world peace,” said Moon. “I have high expectations. This is the largest [ADEX] ever in size, and at this moment, we can see the splendid achievements made by Korea’s aerospace and defense industries over the years.”
With such a large event, the U.S. military has provided more than 150 personnel with more than 10 different airframes to include fifth-generation fighters, F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II, in support of the ironclad ROK/US alliance and the commitment to maintain peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
The 11th Seoul ADEX will run from Oct. 17 – 22, and will feature more than 400 exhibitors from 33 countries along with many demonstrations and displays showcasing “present and future state-of-the-art aerospace and defense technology.”
