A delegation of a dozen South Korean defense industry and government officials visited Ottawa on March 5 and 6, 2025 , to discuss potential defense equipment sales with the Canadian government.

The delegation presented a range of proposals, including the supply of advanced K9 howitzers, training aircraft, rocket launchers, and submarines.

Canada recently initiated the procurement process for its Indirect Fires Modernisation (IFM) program.

This program is aimed at bolstering the capabilities of Canada ’s land forces.

The South Korean delegation’s visit to Ottawa is seen as a step toward deepening the bilateral defense cooperation between Canada and South Korea .

With its track record of global exports, NATO compatibility, and proven performance in extreme cold-weather environments, the K9 may very well be the right choice to enhance Canada 's artillery capabilities.

The K9 self-propelled howitzer is set to remain a key player in the global artillery market.
