Gen. Ahmed Khaled Hassan Said Ahmed made the announcement during the Egypt Defence Expo, which ran Nov. 29-Dec. 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ministry of Military Affairs will organize the event in cooperation with Arabian World Events, which helped with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/techwatch\/2021\/11\/30\/egypt-unveils-locally-made-drones-at-edex-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\">EDEX 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAfter hitting its goal with more than 400 exhibitors at EDEX 2021, Egypt is moving to more specialized defense exhibitions, and the naval expo to be held is in accordance with all the country\u2019s efforts to boost its naval and maritime capabilities,\u201d Ahmad Eliba, a defense expert at the Egyptian Center for Strategic Studies, told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there\u2019s no shortage of regional defense shows already on the books. Other events scheduled for 2022 include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The unmanned systems expo UMEX in the United Arab Emirates for February.<\/li><li>The Qatari maritime exhibition DIMDEX for March.<\/li><li>Saudi Arabia\u2019s World Defense Show for March.<\/li><li>The Iraq Defense Exhibition, or IQDEX, for March.<\/li><li>The International Aerospace and Defense Exhibition, or IADE, in Tunisia for May 2022.<\/li><li>The Bahrain International Airshow for November.<\/li><li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/outlook\/2021\/12\/06\/lebanese-general-special-forces-must-overcome-significant-challenges\/\" target=\"_blank\">special operations forces<\/a> show SOFEX in Jordan in late October and early November.<\/li><li>The Gulf Defense and Aerospace Exhibition and Conference in Kuwait for December.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The year 2023 also has its share of the shows, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/idex\/\" target=\"_blank\">International Defence Exhibition and Conference, or IDEX<\/a>, in the UAE for February.<\/li><li>IDEX\u2019s accompanying maritime exhibition, NAVDEX, also in February.<\/li><li>The Dubai Airshow in the UAE for November.<\/li><li>Egypt\u2019s EDEX for December.<\/li><li>And likely Turkey\u2019s International Defence Industry Fair, or IDEF, which is biennial; however, the show\u2019s official website does not have a date yet.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked about how Egypt\u2019s planned naval expo will stand out in a saturated market of defense shows, Mohamed al-Kenany, who leads the military studies unit at the Cairo-based Arab Forum for Analyzing Iranian Policies, said the event is partly meant to boost local production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMiddle Eastern countries are continuously supporting their defense capabilities,\u201d he told Defense News. \u201cThis show is not a general show; it is specialized in naval power, and Egypt is working to localize the production of its naval assets, so it all falls into place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that the expo not only serves to attract international companies to offer their systems to the region, but also as a platform for Egypt to support localization efforts as part of the government\u2019s Egypt Vision 2030 initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEgypt chose September for the naval show because it is the month the maritime drills and trainings are held extensively,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd with all the ports Egypt is inaugurating on the Mediterranean \u2013 like [expansion at the] <a

naval military bases including \u20183 July Naval Base\u2019 and \u2018East Port Said Naval Base\u2019 \u2014 Egypt definitely needs to secure them, and the expo will play a crucial role in this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But there\u2019s no shortage of regional defense shows already on the books for the next two
