The forum became a productive and effective platform for the Belarusian defence industry with regard to business communication: more than 200 negotiations were held by the arms sphere representatives. The possibilities of expanding co-operation ties and the progress of joint projects were discussed at the meetings of the Chairman of State Authority for Military Industry, Dmitry Pantus, with his foreign colleagues. In addition, business contacts were established to intensify promising co-operation.

Belarusian gunmakers presented over 150 samples of their high-tech products to the guests of the exhibition forum and received a diploma in the nomination For the National Exposition of the Forum along with representatives of Iran, China and India. All the nominees are full members of the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation, they are opponents of the monopolar world, supporters of equal development and mutually beneficial co-operation. In addition, the joint stand, where most of the organisations representing Belarus demonstrated their products, was awarded the Cup by the organisers.

As noted by the State Authority for Military Industry, these results are preliminary, because much effort and work still lie ahead. In general, for Belarus and Russia, and for the Union State as a whole, the Army-2024 forum became a significant step towards gaining technological sovereignty.
