WELCOME MESSAGE Warm Greetings,It is with great honor and renewed pleasure that I warmly welcome you to the 2nd Edition of the Africa Air Force Forum hosted by the Senegalese Air Force. We are proud to host the global aerospace community at this crucial meeting of Air Force Chiefs of Staff and worldwide aerospace industry leaders on October 25th and 26th 2023, in Dakar, Senegal.In an era where threats are increasingly diffuse and dynamic, it is imperative that our Air Forces adapt to this new reality and evolve to effectively address common security challenges. Under the theme ‘Adapting Air Force Capabilities and Drone Employment to Modern Conflicts,’ we should work together to adapt our capabilities, knowledge, and resources to create a stronger collective defense posture that promotes stability, deters potential threats, and enables a swift response when needed.The 2nd Edition of the African Air Forces Forum will feature high-level discussions and briefings, along with an international exhibition showcasing the latest equipment and solutions available to support the forces in the region. Interactive and multidisciplinary discussions, as well as aviation demonstrations, will further highlight this event as one of the strategic gatherings of air forces, aviation authorities, and key solution providers in Africa.We sincerely look forward to the honor of welcoming you to this important event.
