At the exhibition, the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense delegation attended the opening ceremony, visited booths and product display areas of a number of large businesses and corporations in the world, exchanged information, and handed out invitations to the Vietnam International Defence Expo 2024 held in Hanoi, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Army and the 35th anniversary of the National Defense Festival.

Held by the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI), CANSEC is the largest international defense and security exhibition in Canada, which has been organized annually since 1998.

The exhibition introduces modern, leading technologies, products, and services for the army, navy, air force, aerospace, and joint forces. CANSEC is also a place to introduce technologies and products for rapid response forces, border management agencies, and special operations forces.

This year, the event featured 280 booths from leading firms such as Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Hanwha, CAE, General Dynamics, and Thales. It drew 250 international delegations and about 4,500 visitors.

Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair attended the opening ceremony of the exhibition and spoke about the opportunities and challenges of the defense and security industry in the context of a rapidly changing and unpredictable global context.

The exhibition was also attended by Canadian Minister of Public Services and Procurement Jean-Yves Duclos, leaders of the Canadian Defense Forces and representatives of the defense ministries from many countries.
