Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday hailed the progress made in the country's defense sector, saying its cutting-edge defense technologies would make a difference.
Erdogan made the remarks at the closing ceremony of the 16th International Defense Industry Fair held in Istanbul.
He said Türkiye constantly strengthened its capacity in the armed unmanned sea, air, and land vehicles, noting that its defense export reached 2.4 billion U.S. dollars in the first half of 2023 and aims to reach 6 billion dollars by the end of the year.
The Turkish leader said his government had developed a "Türkiye Model" in defense cooperation, stressing that "the aim is not only to sell products to interlocutors but to establish medium- and long-term partnerships."
"We want to strengthen our cooperation based on common interests and a win-win understanding," he added.
The international defense industry fair started to be held every two years since 1993 and grew to be one of the prestigious defense industry events worldwide.
This year's event, which is hosted by the Turkish Defense Ministry, showcases a wide range of new defense technologies and products.
