DefExpo2005 (Defence Expo 2005) is the first edition of India's flagship defence expo, showcasing Land, Air, Naval and Homeland Security Systems. It will be held at Pragati Maidan, in New Delhi, from the 11th to the 20th of November, 2005. A number of Indian private and state-owned companies would show off their products. Indian companies presenting would include Bharat Dynamics, Bharat Electronics, and Hindustan Aviation, plus a variaty of shipbuilders and designers. Also present would be state-owned Indian Armed Forces production support organisations. The event's head organiser would be Apurva Sundaram, of the Indigenous Defence Equipment Exporters Association.

This event would be organised as part of an internal tri-department initative between the External Affairs Department, the Defence Department, and the Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade Department. The defence expo would have three goals: 1) to introduce foreign companies and governments to Indian defence products; 2) to conduct research on foreign defence products that could be of interest to India; 3) to expand the links between private companies of both India and other nations.

Also invited to display defence products would be American (Odinson), Russian (Jay), French (Alexander), British (Jamie), Australian (Owen), Thai (Bossza007), Eranian (DukeofBread), German (Danny), Korean (John), Portugese (Bruno), Brazilian (bruhlord89), Vietnamese (HeadlessSeeker), Iraqi (Nathan), Chinese (Zebra), Japanese (Tokugawa), Spanish (Zak) and Polish (ManBear) government agencies, state-owned companies and private companies. All nations' governments and defence industries would be invited to attend without a display.

While Thailand had no single state-owned or privately held defense companies, its arms industry was instead organized into democratically managed worker cooperatives. These enterprises, represented by their respective workers' councils, formed a decentralized but cooperative structure. When the Republic’s government agencies handling foreign arms sales were notified by HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY Gandhi's administration in India, they promptly saw an opportunity. Given Thailand and India’s amicable relationship, underpinned by the Treaty of Amity, Thai officials were eager to oblige their ally. Though the Thai bureaucracy had scarcely discussed the feasibility of arms sales, a tacit understanding persisted that anything related to India—the undisputed “NUMBER ONE country of the Earth”—was inherently beneficial.

To formalize their interest, Thai authorities dispatched a TOP SECRET, STRONGLY ENCRYPTED, FLASH PRIORITY MESSAGE confirming their intent to engage with defense cooperatives. The message included a peculiar addendum: a firm and “life-or-death” request for a list of all nearby CAT CAFES around the exhibition venue. It was almost insistently, even comically, emphasized that “due to special circumstances and unpredictable domestic dynamics, knowing the locations of nearby cat cafes is non-negotiable and absolutely essential.”
