Themed “Peace, prosperity, strong defense”, the expo is being held across three different venues in Jakarta, including Jiexpo Kemayoran in Central Jakarta, Pondok Dayung naval base in North Jakarta, and the south apron of the Halim Perdanakusuma airbase in East Jakarta. A total of 21 ministerial-level officials, armed forces commanders, and chiefs of staff from various countries attend the event.
