Commenting on the second day of the exhibition, Al Marzouqi said, “Our participation in Egypt Defence Expo 2025 has highlighted AMMROC’s growing role as a leading regional centre for aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul, reflecting the UAE’s commitment to strengthening defence cooperation with the Arab Republic of Egypt and our partners across the region.

This year, our participation saw the signing of strategic memoranda of understanding with the Arab Organisation for Industrialization, covering cooperation in airframe and systems, engine parts manufacturing and processing, and helicopter systems support.”

He added, “These agreements mark a new phase of partnership with our brothers in Egypt, contributing to the development of capabilities and competencies, supporting fleet readiness, and laying the foundation for long-term cooperation in aviation and defence.”

Additionally, within the UAE Pavilion, GAL has deepened its industrial footprint and fostered collaborative growth with regional and international partners through several strategic partnerships announced at the event.

Speaking about the partnerships announced, Abdelrahman Alhammadi, Acting CEO of GAL, said, “Our participation at EDEX 2025 underscores GAL’s role in advancing mission-readiness and strengthening the region’s aviation support capabilities. The engagements we conducted, including several strategic MoUs, further reinforce our focus on expanding technical depth, enhancing maintenance and logistics solutions, and building stronger industrial links across the Middle East and Africa.

"We are proud to participate under the UAE Pavilion, representing the national defence ecosystem and working alongside our partners to deliver reliable, sustainable, and future-ready aviation support capabilities.”

The UAE Pavilion continues to attract the attention of officials, visitors, and all local and Arab media, thanks to its advanced solutions and high-quality products that reflect the UAE’s leading position in defence and advanced technology industries and underscore the depth of cooperation between the UAE and Egypt across various defence and economic fields.
