18 Jan 23. DSEI Japan 2023 drives speed and agility in defence strategy.
DSEI Japan has announced that rapid acquisition and development as well as rapid deployment, in the defence sector will form the seminar themes for the 2023 event, set to take place 15-17 March 2023, in Makuhari Messe, Tokyo.
The current and future operating environment will be revolutionised by the increasing new challenges that are changing the trajectory of traditional warfare. Closer collaboration can increase the speed and quality of procurement processes to ensure that available capabilities meet the rapidly changing needs of Japan’s defence sector.
The Rapid Acquisition Process (RAP) provides rapid transition funding for the development and fielding of highly successful competitive experiments and demonstrations. By driving rapid delivery, threat-informed, concept-driven, technology-enabled, policy-aware, resource-aligned and evidence-based capabilities can support readiness in shorter timeframes.
The main conference themes for DSEI Japan will be announced in due course.
James Samuel, Director, DSEI Japan, said: “Speed and agility are key in delivering strengthened security for the Asia-Pacific region, and DSEI Japan’s role here is to support Japan in delivering its message that it is a key strategic partner for nations around the globe and is critically placed to influence geo-political and defence policies in the Asia-Pacific region.”
“DSEI Japan 2023 offers an unparalleled opportunity for defence equipment suppliers to meet with Japanese decision makers to work together on the air, land and maritime programmes that will reinforce Japan’s military capabilities and promote stability in the region.”
DSEI Japan brings together the international defence and security community to explore the relationship between foreign policy, military capability and developments in key emerging technologies, and their impact on security in the Indo-Pacific. DSEI Japan will take place against the backdrop of Japan and Australia bolstering military ties and intelligence sharing in a revamped security pact aimed at countering China’s growing military presence in the Asia Pacific region.
National export capabilities will also be in focus, with official international pavilions from Israel, France, Germany, USA, Canada, Italy, Australia and the United Kingdom, among others.

17 Jan 23. King’s College London presents The Score (You and I Both Know).
A new exhibition by Corinne Silva
Curated by Cécile Bourne-Farrell and Professor Vivienne Jabri
7 February – 3 March 2023
Preview 8 February, 6pm – 8pm
The Arcade, Bush House South Entrance, King’s College London, The Strand, WC2B 4PJ
The Score (You and I Both Know), a new exhibition exploring the impact of war on populations living in the aftermath of conflict, opens 7 February at The Arcade, King’s College London.
The exhibition forms part of Conflict and Injury, a research project from the Department of War Studies at King’s investigating how war inflicts injuries on individuals, communities and their lived environments. The Score (You and I Both Know) is presented by Professor of International Politics Vivienne Jabri and King’s Culture, in collaboration with contemporary artist Corinne Silva and curator Cécile Bourne-Farrell.
Silva draws on years of research and practice in Bosnia and Herzegovina to present this new series of works exploring the consequences of the Bosnian War on bodies, landscapes and memory, as well as the remarkable resilience and solidarity of those affected.
Through an installation of photographs and sound The Score (You and I Both Know) transports viewers to the siege of Sarajevo and the embodied, material and auditory cartography of violence. The deeply resonant exhibition is testimony to injury and resistance in the face of the deliberate targeting of civilian populations in time of war, capturing the scenes and sounds of lived experience during conflict and its aftermath.
Silva’s primary focus is a row of linden trees along the River Miljacka that mark Sarajevo’s former frontline; the only trees that remained in the city after the siege as their location was too dangerous for anyone to risk felling them. As well as being witnesses to the conflict, these trees were also active participants, forming a living shield to sniper fire. Today, their role is immortalised in their trunks and branches which bear the scars of the war. The works are complemented by a haunting voice singing a former Yugoslavian partisan song celebrating the forest as a place of safety.
Artist Corinne Silva, said “My work attempts to read and reveal traces of historical violence in the landscape, and the resilience of nature in the face of human conflict. The focus of this exhibition – the tree trunks scarred by shrapnel, with ruptured bark formed around bullets – a reminder that trauma and wounds are still held there, in streets and parks and bodies.”
Professor of International Politics Vivienne Jabri, said: “Corinne Silva’s works evoke the multiple ways in which the violence of war leaves its imprint, conceived in the project as ‘injury’. From individual bodies to the material spaces of the cityscape, injury leaves traces that endure across generations. The exhibition is particularly resonant in our contemporary context of war seen once again in Europe, continuing conflict in other regions of the world, and forms of deadly exclusionary politics based on gender and race.”
Curator Cécile Bourne-Farrell said: “The Score (You and I Both Know) depicts wounds as fragments, suggesting that the history of conflict is made up of small pieces that can nevertheless disclose a great deal. The photographs are installed like musical notes of an indelible song.”
The Score (You and I Both Know) is part of the King’s research project Conflict and Injury, which has had two iterations, Injurious Acts I and II, supported by the Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation.
The first iteration involved working with artists Hrair Sarkissian to create a 16-minute looped sound installation, Deathscape, depicting the sounds of the confined space of an archaeological dig where victims of the Spanish civil war were executed and buried, and now found. Deathscape was included in the British Art Show in 2021 and has been exhibited internationally. The installation reveals the enduring impact of war, on individual bodies, communities and their political spaces, and on the memories of future generations.
For the second iteration, this upcoming exhibition of Silva’s work, The Score (You and I Both Know), interprets the subject differently, focusing on the ways in which targeting in time of conflict inflicts injury to bodies and trees alike. In works that immediately evoke the urban setting of Sarajevo, revealing injury in its multiple manifestations, borne in unpredictable ways, both during and well beyond conflict.
The exhibition is informed by the research and publications of Vivienne Jabri, Professor of International Politics. Jabri’s work focuses on the implications of war and the multiple manifestations of violence and its impact on populations and on international politics. She is currently undertaking a five-year research project, Mapping Injury, funded by UK Research and Innovation, and focusing on the Global South.
The Score (You and I Both Know) at the Arcade at Bush House is supported by King’s Culture, and is part of the inaugural artistic programme in the Strand Cultural Quarter since the official opening of the Strand Aldwych pedestrianisation. The Strand Cultural Quarter at King’s supports creative learning, showcases imaginative research collaborations and invites local communities to connect with the university through a varied programme of events and activities.

16 Jan 23. Malaysia’s aerospace, maritime exhibition to make comeback after 4-year hiatus. The Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) will make a comeback this year following a four-year hiatus, with the event being launched by government officials here on Monday.
The biennial program exhibition will be held from May 23-27 and bring together senior government officials, top military officers, and industry leaders, as well as exhibitors from the defense and commercial sectors from all over the world, the organizer said in a statement.
Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook and Defense Minister Mohamad Hasan joined officials to launch the event.
Loke said the return of the exhibition will revive momentum in Malaysia’s aerospace and maritime sectors, putting an end to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Malaysia has long been focused on uplifting the domestic aerospace and maritime sectors so that they can further contribute to national growth. We have the capability and capacity to enhance the shipbuilding and repair industry in the country,” he said.
Loke added that the country aims for Malaysian vessels to account for 20 percent of global shipping, 30 percent of intra-ASEAN trade, 90 percent of domestic shipping and 100 percent of port tugboat operations, besides boosting its capabilities in its domestic drone industry.
For his part, Mohamad said Malaysia will seek to strengthen its defense industry ties with reliable partners in line with its National Defence and Security Industry Policy to be launched this year.
“We look forward to more strategic and significant collaborations with reliable partners. This will enhance the domestic defense and security industry’s capability, in producing military hardware and technologies, in order to achieve the goals for Malaysia to become self-reliant, and for the players to be part of the international supply chain,” he said.
First launched in 1991, LIMA has grown into a major arms and technology showcase, drawing hundreds of companies from dozens of countries. This year’s edition is expected to draw over 600 exhibitors, 60 percent being companies from the defense industry, while the remaining 40 percent will be from the commercial sector, the organizer said.

The sessions contribute to consolidating the leading position of the two exhibitions and the accompanying conference as a global platform for exchanging of knowledge and expertise with elite leaders of defense industries in the world, and provide a real opportunity to discuss a range of issues related to defense industries and advanced technology.
