The Defense Acquisition Program Administration and the Army Headquarters, following the Ministry of National Defense, have approved the use of sponsorship names for the ground weapon defense exhibition led by the private exhibition company Defense Expo (IDK) called ‘DX KOREA 2024’.
As a result, DX KOREA 2024, held at KINTEX in Ilsan from the 25th to the 28th of next month, can use the sponsorship names of the Ministry of National Defense, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, and the Army Headquarters.
According to DX KOREA 2024, the Ministry of National Defense approved the use of the sponsorship name last month on the 4th, and the Defense Acquisition Program Administration and the Army Headquarters approved it on the 8th and 12th of this month, respectively.
Previously, the Ministry of National Defense and the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, and the Army Headquarters approved the use of the sponsorship name for the ground weapon defense exhibition ‘KADEX 2024’, organized by the reserve association, the Army Association, on October 2-6 at Gyeryong Daehwaro.
Both competing ground weapon exhibitions have received sponsorship from the Ministry of National Defense, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, and the Army Headquarters. Initially, the Army Association and Defense Expo have jointly hosted ground weapon defense exhibitions at KINTEX in Ilsan every other year under the name ‘DX KOREA’ since 2012. However, in 2022, due to conflicts between the two sides, they separated after the exhibition, and this year, they will each host ground weapon exhibitions in different locations a week apart.
