Let's hope it productive. Heard about then negotiations going in between PAC and then Nigerian airforce for the JF 17. It will be a landmark contract if it proceeds.

Arms do nothing but 'KILL'!!! Let us work on making this Blessed Earth a good decent & peaceful place without Misery (Poverty, Hunger, Disease Etc.). Only Un-educated people would say that 'Arms are for Peace'!!!!

Good stuff but the traffic havoc it caused...damn!
They should move the Expo facility to some remote area so that it doesnt disturb the people going to offices, universities, schools, hospitals.

Please do some thing for advancement in healing technologies, we have made atomic bomb but could not launch a communication satelite, how strange. we have developed fighter jet but no Polio vaccin, what a contradiction.

Every one feels at home surrounded by all these alms... the look of satisfaction in every ones eyes when they see equipment's that can destroy ... call them to an exhibition on non destructive science.. every one will stay at home

Pakistan needs economic, social and educational progress not "arms for peace". This "eat-grass mentality but built nuclear power", will only help the big corporations and weapons industries

@Yakoob
A strong defense system to survive in this word is very crucial. If your neighbour is making lethal weapons and you will be thinking to make the world peaceful.
We must have strong defense system other wise we will be facing miserable situation like palastine.

@hafeezullah Polio vaccines have existed since since 1950's, you don't need to invent them again. Also what relevance does this have to private companies who develop weapons?

The location is too bad for such kind of exhibition. It adds oil to fire for those already suffering a lot from VIP movements and other blockades.
