The Turkish defense industry has various high-quality products for African countries and the states in the region are already interested in what Türkiye has to offer, the head of the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB) said Friday.
“Some of our products particularly come to the fore but we have various capabilities beside them,” Ismail Demir told Turkish daily Sabah as part of the Africa Aviation and Defense Show (AAD2022), which is held in the administrative capital of South Africa, Pretoria.
Some 25 companies from Türkiye have participated in the fair.
Demir said that Turkish defense giant Aselsan has already partnered with a company in South Africa, enabling the country’s defense sector to reach the continent.
He said that as part of the fair, they reevaluated the cooperation opportunities while displaying the capabilities of the Turkish defense industry.
