Twelve companies became the first from Japan to participate in an international defense exhibition June 16 by exhibiting their wares at the five-day Eurosatory defense fair in Paris.
Their participation is expected to help Japan cash in on the easing in April of its long-standing ban on arms exports as hawkish Prime Minister Shinzo Abe looks to revive a stagnating economy.
The firms’ exhibits included a weather observation radar sys-tem, a night-vision lens, lifesaving equipment and a portable detector. (Kyodo)
