“Barzan Holdings is committed to revolutionizing Qatar’s defense and security apparatus and empowering the Qatar Armed Forces through collaborative partnerships with leading international defense companies and organizations, bringing expertise of the highest standard and localizing it to achieve Qatar’s domestic goals,“ said Abdullah Hassan Al Khater, Vice President and Chief Strategic Procurement Officer, Barzan Holdings. “We are delighted to be partnering with Aselsan to further expand our capabilities in the sector by drawing on Aselsan’s well-established industry expertise.”
