Langkawi suitable, strategic for Lima, no need for change of venue, says Tok Mat

KUALA LUMPUR: The government believes that Langkawi should be retained as the venue for the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (Lima) due to its highly strategic location and suitability for hosting the biennial event, the Dewan Negara was told.

Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said Langkawi, which has been the venue for Lima since 1991, has an airport and open spaces to accommodate various types of aircraft and ships, along with strategically located sea areas and adequate infrastructure.
