Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Defense Expo 2022 in Gandhinagar on Wednesday. During this, he also laid the foundation stone of a new airbase at Deesa near the India-Pakistan border and said that this new airbase will emerge as an effective center for the country’s security. At the same time, he also said that Gujarat will become the center of defense in India and will play an important role in India’s security. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “I could see on the screen that the people of Deesa were excited about the construction of the new airfield. This airspace will play a major role. Deesa is only 130 km from the International Border. If our army, especially our air force, takes the lead in Deesa, we will be able to better respond to any threat from the western side.” However, he did not take the name of Pakistan during this period.
Addressing the gathering on this occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not say that this is the first such ‘Defense Expo’ in which only Indian companies are participating. “Maritime security is becoming the world’s priority today for free trade as well as international security,” he said.
Prime Minister Modi said, “The export of Indian defense products has increased eight times in the last eight years. Defense forces will issue a list of 101 items whose imports will be banned, along with 411 defense equipment and equipment that will be made in India itself.
