Slovakia is participating in the IDEX 2025 international defence technology fair in Abu Dhabi with a national exhibition showcasing ten state-run and private firms being prepared by the Defence Ministry.
"We've prepared a brand new format for presenting our defence industry with the aim of showing what we in Slovakia are rightly proud of. The current government defends the national interests of Slovakia, and we support our arms industry, which has a strong tradition and a good reputation abroad. It is through such steps that we are contributing to the growth of the national economy, improving employment, and this will also result in higher salaries for people in Slovakia," stated Defence Minister Robert Kalinak (Smer-SD).
The Slovak stand will feature, for example, the AM-120 automatic mortar and the EVA M2 self-propelled howitzer. Kalinak has held dozens of talks with foreign representatives concerning opportunities for cooperation as part of the fair, said the ministry.
