In these talks, the Vietnamese delegation discussed the scope for cooperation in researching, developing and manufacturing military hardware and technical equipment — among them unmanned vehicles, electro-optical devices, armoured personnel carriers, bulletproof vests, robotics, digital control systems and AI applications for defence, as well as next-generation munitions, artillery rounds with extended range, and various technical solutions to improve the efficiency, accuracy and overall performance of equipment.

Attending ADEX-2026 was an occasion to broaden the channels of defence and defence-industry cooperation between Viet Nam and its international partners; to keep abreast of the latest scientific and technological achievements worldwide, share experience and seek fitting avenues for cooperation. All of this contributes to strengthening the country's capacity to research, master and apply new technologies, to expanding defence-industry cooperation, and to building a Viet Nam People's Army that is regular, elite and modern — one able to firmly safeguard the Fatherland in the new situation.
