Viettel to showcase defence industry capabilities in Malaysia

Malaysia is one of the defence industry markets that Viettel is targeting, and the move is part of the company’s efforts in 2024 to continue to realise its vision of becoming a global defence enterprise.

Viettel will showcase its defence industry capabilities in Malaysia

DSA and NATSEC 2024 are among the five largest defence and security exhibitions in the world. The 2024 event is considered the largest in 18 years, with the participation of over 1,200 companies from 60 countries, nearly 400 delegations from 45 countries, and an expected attendance of over 50,000 visitors.

Viettel will participate in the exhibition as the national booth of Vietnam, alongside 33 other national booths from around the world in the 45,000m2 exhibition space. Leading global defence companies such as BAE Systems, Raytheon, SAAB, and Thales, along with Malaysian companies Boustead, DEFTECH, and Sapura, regularly participate in the event.

At DSA & NATSEC, Viettel High Tech will introduce advanced military product systems, and showcase component modules, reflecting its research capabilities, technology, and design skills. After the success of deploying 5Gn India, including contracts signed at the International Defense Exhibition in Vietnam 2022, Viettel High Tech has gained new cooperation opportunities in the military and dual-use product sectors. Upon announcing participation in DSA & NATSEC, Viettel High Tech received cooperation proposals from major partners in the Middle East and Asia, opening up new business opportunities, especially in the 5G field.

Under the theme "Building a Secure Future for Developing Nations", Viettel will present a diverse range of military products and high-quality resources, providing comprehensive research and development solutions to international customers. Furthermore, as part of the global defence supply chain, Viettel High Tech is ready to collaborate with global partners, becoming a co-developer of products and customising products according to specific customer needs. Customisation capability is Viettel High Tech's advantage compared to other large defence corporations worldwide.
