After the inauguration, Sisi inspected exhibition pavilions starting with the Egyptian Pavilion for Technical Research which encompasses weapons, air defense systems, electronic warfare systems, explosives detection, and protection suits against terrorist threats. The exhibition is held on 17,000 square meters and attended by 373 international companies from 41 countries. The exhibition includes interpreters in all languages of the world to facilitate communication with all participating delegations, as well as a large media center equipped with the latest international means. In addition, Egypt has historically maintained continuous investment in the latest weaponry as a defense strategy and has strengthened national production lines across a range of military complexes.”Edited translation from Al-Masry Al-Youm
