All countries that took national pavilions at Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI), the world's largest land, sea and air defence and security exhibition, have committed to the next show, which will be held at ExCeL London from 15-18 September 2015.

Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and France have all increased the size of their pavilions, underlining DSEI's status as a truly international showcase of defence and security products, systems and technologies.

DSEI Event Director Duncan Reid said, "DSEI 2013 was notable for such major players as Japan and South Korea making their debut with national pavilions. We also welcomed Brazil, Chile and the UAE, further strengthening the representation of Latin America and the Middle East at the show.  

The fact that all these nations have chosen to participate in DSEI 2015 is a terrific vote of confidence and we are anticipating the booking of further national pavilions in the coming months".

In all, a record total of 54 countries were represented at DSEI 2013 either by national pavilions or individual company stands.
