Wonderful to see our Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiatives being showcased to international partners. The UAE delegation getting to see DRDO's work and indigenous weapon systems is a testament to India's defence manufacturing capabilities.

As someone working in defence sector, I appreciate the focus on AI roadmap and drone systems. However, I hope these partnerships translate into actual technology transfer and joint development, not just showcasing.

Hope this leads to more joint exercises and training programs. Our soldiers can learn from each other's experiences in different terrains and combat scenarios. The Middle East partnership is crucial for India's security interests.
