The Minister, who is in Washington this week for discussions with Pentagon officials, stressed the importance of securing key military apparatus such as ground vehicles, helicopters, tanks, artillery and armoured personnel carriers.
The declaration of such requirements is well timed, coming ahead of the forthcoming summit, which will take place in Dubai on 16-17 February 2008. The Minister will lead of delegation of senior Iraqi officials from the Defence Ministry, alongside representatives from Interior, National Security, Science & Technology and Communications.
The summit provides a unique opportunity for international suppliers to sit down and hold private discussions with the Minister and his delegation of senior Director Generals, as the Ministry looks to allocate its new multi-billion dollar budget on improving Iraqi security.
The summit looks set to be a huge success and will welcome senior executives from the leading global defence contractors, including the likes of BAE Systems, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, SAIC, DRS, Bell, Harris, Oshkosh, EADS, L-3, Agility, Aegis, EODT and Zain.
