Karachi, Sept. 8 (Reuters): Pakistan, striving to make a niche for itself in the global arms market, is touting locally-built tanks and other weapons during a defence exhibition that opens here next week, a top army official said.
“Our big-ticket items, which would take our sales up by maybe a couple of hundred million dollars or more, are just coming on line,” Major General Syed Ali Hamid, director general of the Defence Export Promotion Organisation, said today.
He said the indigenously-manufactured Al-Khalid tank, which has been inducted in the Pakistan army this year, is the prime product for sale at the “IDEAS 2004” arms exhibition opening in Karachi next Tuesday.
