A number of agreements were also signed during the event.

KADEX-2014 is being organised to provide a promising platform for the global defence industry to showcase and promote the latest advancements in military weapons and systems. It also aims to widen the sphere of military-technical collaboration between Kazakhstan and other countries as also to provide an opportunity to the domestic defence enterprise to exhibit its products for the Kazakh Armed Forces and also for the foreign market.
