Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi inaugurated the second edition of the Egypt Defence Expo (EDEX 2021) in Cairo on Monday. Sisi toured the EDEX pavilions, where he was briefed on the military and defence products showcased by participating companies.
“The high turnout at the fair reflects its significance, the strenuous efforts exerted in the organisation of the expo and the weight of the participating companies”, Sisi noted.
According to Egypt’s Defence Minister, Mohamed Zaki, “the expo has created a sophisticated military gathering to present innovation, trade expertise, and promote military development and military production relations between countries”.
The exhibition, which runs for four days, saw the participation of over 400 international companies working in defence and military industries representing 42 countries, including the US, France, Saudi Arabia and UAE.
This year’s EDEX edition is held at Egypt International Convention and Exhibition Centre in New Cairo.
