SEONGNAM, South Korea (Reuters) - South Korea should redouble its efforts to become a global defence industry leader, President Moon Jae-in told a military expo in the outskirts of Seoul on Wednesday, after landing at the site in an air force fighter jet.

Clad in a flight suit, Moon arrived at the biennial Seoul International Aerospace & Defense Exhibition https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/skorea-opens-largest-defence-expo-amid-nkorea-missile-tests-2021-10-19 in the back seat of an FA-50 jet fighter, South Korea's first indigenous supersonic aircraft and a major defence export.

In his speech on Wednesday, Moon defended the South's increasingly sophisticated military as necessary for peace.Amid glittering displays of drones, sniper rifles, helicopters, missiles, and other weapons, crowds of company representatives, diplomats, and South Korean troops mixed with military delegations in an array of foreign uniforms.

"I could feel the dashing dignity of the FA-50, which we've developed with our own technologies," Moon said.
