The MENC conference is a key component of DIMDEX 2012's three-day programme and brings senior naval commanders, policy-makers, government officials and analysts together in Doha to discuss key developments in the maritime field. Given the current geo-strategic importance of the MENA region in global defence and security issues, DIMDEX 2012 will be a landmark event in the global maritime calendar.

The Chairman of DIMDEX 2012, Staff Brigadier (Sea) Mohammed Bin Nasser Al Mohannadisaid: "DIMDEX's MENC Conference provides a unique and high profile forum where naval commanders from across the GCC meet their international contemporaries to discuss the crucial issues facing today's maritime defence industry. RUSI's expertise in promoting debate between military and security communities in the GCC makes it an ideal partner for the MENC Conference."
