News this week: Japan will host its first international
defence industry trade show at Pacifico
Yokohama from 13th
to 15th May 2015. The MAST Asia exhibition and conference is focused on maritime security. The show
launch coincides with the lifting of a ban on defence exports in 2014 by
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
The Yokohama event,
organised by MAST Communications, is expected to span 3,000 m2 of
exhibition space, and feature international delegates from countries including
Australia, France, Germany, Malaysia, Norway, the Philippines, U.K. and U.S.
Two of Japan’s largest defence contractors, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and
Kawasaki Heavy Industries, will join other exhibitors at the show.
Warren Edge, CEO of MAST
Communications, said, “I’ve always had an interest to come here, but up until a
few years ago, there was no appetite domestically for anything like this.” The
organiser added that representatives of Chinese companies or its government
will not attend, stating the decision to not invite them was taken “out of
consideration of our hosts.”
