The Embassy of India, Bangkok, in association with the Department of Defence Production, Ministry of Defence, Government of India, and the Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers (SIDM), organised a focused Defence Industry Seminar and B2B Interaction in Bangkok, Thailand, on 19th February 2026. From 1030–1130 hrs, H.E. Mr. Nagesh Singh, Ambassador of India to the Kingdom of Thailand, held an exclusive interaction with the Indian defence companies to discuss the Thailand defence and aerospace ecosystem, market opportunities, regulatory landscape, and avenues for deeper industrial collaboration. The inaugural session was graced by H.E. Mr. Nagesh Singh along with senior representatives from the Defence Technology Institute (DTI), Thailand. The interaction witnessed strong participation from both sides, with 25 leading Indian defence industries showcasing their capabilities across aerospace, land systems, naval systems, drones and counter-drone systems, protective armour, missile systems, ammunition, simulators, and emerging defence technologies. The structured B2B meetings and industry presentations enabled meaningful discussions between Indian and Thai defence stakeholders, highlighting significant potential for partnerships, technology collaboration, joint development, and supply chain integration.
