Texas representatives shared insights into innovative technologies that could bolster border security and streamline military operations.
"The partnership between Texas and Chile, reinforced by the ASPPM, is poised to grow, evolve and explore new frontiers in aerospace and defense," said Brig. Gen. Andrew J. Camacho.
Chilean officials, in turn, provided updates on regional security dynamics and the potential for joint military exercises.
The dialogue also touched upon the recent FIDAE 2024, where both Texas and Chile had significant presences. The fair's focus on aerospace and defense innovations offered a backdrop for discussions on collaborative research and development initiatives.
Both parties reaffirmed their commitment to a lasting partnership. This alliance, built on shared values and strategic interests, promises to yield exponential and synergistic results.
