After landing at the site in an air force fighter jet, South Korean President Moon Jae-in told a military expo in the outskirts of Seoul on Wednesday that the nation should redouble its efforts to become a global defense industry leader.
Clad in a flight suit, Moon arrived at the biennial Seoul International Aerospace & Defense Exhibition (ADEX) in the back seat of an FA-50 jet fighter, South Korea's first indigenous supersonic aircraft and a major defense export.
