According to a VNA correspondent in the Russian Federation, on August 12, at the Patriot Exhibition and Conference Center in the suburbs of Moscow, the opening ceremony of the Army-2024 International Military Technical Forum and exhibition took place.
The Army-2024 forum event will take place over 3 days from August 12 to 14.
The Army-2024 forum is attended by official military delegations from 83 countries, with 39 delegations led by defense ministers and chiefs of the general staff.
A high-ranking delegation from the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense led by Minister, General Phan Van Giang attended the forum at the invitation of Russian Defense Minister Andrey Removich Belousov.
In addition, more than 1,000 domestic and foreign enterprises and organizations will introduce more than 20,000 samples of military and dual-purpose products in the form of actual samples, models and promotional and informational materials at the forum.
Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a video message of welcome to the forum. The Russian President stressed that Army-2024 is a symbolic international military-technical forum and this is the 10th time the event has been held.
The event has always attracted a growing interest from experts, scholars and media from all over the world. Its wide international coverage, open dialogue and rich business agenda are the forum's best traditions.
Russia always appreciates the interest and cooperative relationship of the partners attending the forum, and is ready to promote cooperation to jointly create equal and indivisible security and build a new, fairer multipolar world.
For his part, speaking at the opening ceremony, Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov emphasized that the Army-2024 program focuses on discussing new forms of armed struggle and measures for the industry to adapt to meeting the needs of the army.
According to Minister Belousov, for the first time at the forum will be displayed products of the “people's defense industry,” which are products produced by people, labor collectives, and small and medium-sized enterprises, stemming from practical needs.
Mr. Belousov believes that the forum will contribute to implementing breakthrough ideas in the defense field and expanding military-technical cooperation with international partners.

After the opening ceremony, General Phan Van Giang and members of the delegation visited the booths at Army-2024.
