Seoul ADEX 2021 is a biennial activity that features many events, including displays of cutting-edge technology weapons systems and equipment, academic symposiums, and other defense-related activities.
PA Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Roberto Capulong headed the PA delegates. The activity provided them with relevant and valuable opportunities for networking and access to the latest capabilities across the ground, naval, and aerospace domains.
PA Commanding General Lt. Gen. Andres Centino emphasized the importance of the PA contingent’s participation.
“Our contingent to the ADEX in Seoul, South Korea is to get valuable information about the new technologies in defense hardware and equipment that will be useful in planning the procurement of military hardware for the Philippine Army,” he said.
“The Philippine Army is geared towards the modernization and development of its capabilities. This endeavor strengthens our defense posture and enables us in dealing with the fast-evolving nature of security threats in our country and region,” he added. (PA) – jlo
