Bandung, W Java (Antara Bali) - As many as 26 defense attaches from friendly countries visited state-owned weapons manufacturer PT Pindad and national weapons and armored vehicle industry complex here on Wednesday.
"The presence of the defense attaches is very strategic and an honor for Pindad which plays an active role in fully supporting the Indonesian defense industry," President Director of PT Pindad Silmy Karim said while receiving the defense attaches.
On the occasion, Silmy introduced the company and its several excellent products to the guests.
Pindad which is engaged in defense industry had so far supplied weapons to the National Defense Forces (TNI) and the Indonesian Police (Polri). It also pioneered the export of weapons to several countries, he said.
"Pindad wants to show that Indonesia has a company capable of manufacturing high quality defense and security products. This information should be disseminated to policy makers in other countries," he said.
Silmy did not rule out the possibility that the visit would help the company open several new export markets if there was significant feedback.
Pindah had so far established cooperation with several world-class defense companies to achieve its vision and improve its capacity through transfer of technology.
"Pindad currently cooperates with global companies which have reliable technological capability. We hope that the visit will lead to other countries cooperating with Pindad and using its products," he said. (WDY)
