South Korea, for the second time

This Asian country has been appointed the MSPO Lead Nation role at the International Defense Industry Exhibition for the second time. The Program Board's proposal and then the decision of the Ministry of National Defense to invite the Republic of Korea to organise the Lead Nation Exhibition was a natural step. The Polish government has resolved to purchase an extensive amount of military equipment from Korea. The agreements were also signed at last 2022's defense industry trade show in Kielce.
