"Esteemed exhibition participants and dear guests,
I congratulate you on the occasion of the opening of ADEX 2026 –
the 6th Azerbaijan International Defence Exhibition and Securex
Caspian 2026 – the 15th Anniversary International Exhibition for
Internal Security, Safety and Rescue Equipment, and sincerely
welcome you to Azerbaijan.
It is gratifying to witness that the ADEX exhibition,
traditionally held in the city of Baku, has transformed into one of
the region’s most authoritative and beneficial defense industry
platforms. The growing interest in this exhibition year after year,
along with the participation of numerous countries and leading
companies, clearly reflects the relevance and international
prestige of the event.
Bringing together defense industry institutions, military
experts, and companies from friendly and partner nations, this
important international exhibition creates valuable opportunities
to showcase the latest technologies across various sectors of the
defense industry, modern weapons systems, samples of military
equipment, and innovative solutions; discuss new prospects for
cooperation; and establish mutually beneficial partnerships.
Strengthening defense capability and ensuring national security
are among the priority areas of Azerbaijan’s state policy. As a
result of consistent measures, our country’s defense industry,
having undergone significant development, has now entered a
qualitatively new stage and significantly expanded its production
capabilities. Defense products manufactured by local enterprises,
while occupying an important place in the supply of our Armed
Forces, also stand out for their competitiveness in international
markets and are met with particular interest by relevant
institutions in various countries. The achievements made by
Azerbaijan in the field of defense industry serve to strengthen our
country’s military-technical potential and deepen cooperation with
friendly and partner states.
Today, the quality and reliability of Azerbaijan’s defense
industry products are highly appreciated at the international
level. The ADEX exhibition is of particular significance in
presenting to the international community the strength and
potential of our country’s defense-industrial complex, including
its innovative technologies, as well as modern products and new
achievements of defense industry enterprises from our partner
countries.
The Securex Caspian exhibition, taking place alongside ADEX and
marking its 15th anniversary edition this year, has, for its part,
gained great prestige as one of the specialized events
demonstrating advanced technologies in the fields of security,
protection, rescue, and emergency management.
I am confident that the ADEX and Securex Caspian exhibitions
will make an important contribution to establishing new business
contacts among participants, as well as strengthening
military-technical cooperation.
I sincerely welcome each of you once again and wish the
exhibitions every success and all participants fruitful work!" the
address reads.
