Join the protest at the Welsh Government’s arms fair in Newport.
Where: International Convention Centre Wales, Caerleon, Newport
When: Thursday 2 September, from 8am
The Welsh Government is currently co-organising the summit with Business in Focus, ADS Group and General Dynamics Land Systems.
ADS Group has been described as the trade body for the UK arms industry, representing major weapons companies and promoting the interests of arms manufacturers.
General Dynamics Land Systems is a subsidiary of General Dynamics, one of the world’s largest arms companies. General Dynamics has supplied weapons to the Israeli military during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
This summit will align Wales with the UK Government’s programme of military expansion and a wider global arms race.
Every pound diverted into excessive military spending is a pound not invested in tackling the real crises facing Wales, from climate change and poverty to the shortage of affordable housing and pressure on public services.
