According to him, the country will conduct negotiations with foreign delegations within the framework of the Air Show from September 18-21.

"We hope this move will translate into practical cooperation in the future," an Indonesian military official said.

The exhibition brings together global aerospace industry leaders, major defense companies and industry experts, showcasing cutting-edge aviation technologies, military defense systems and sustainable aerospace solutions.
