Egypt’s Ministry of Military Production will participate for the first time in the Vietnam International Defence Expo 2026 on December 10-13.
The announcement came after talks between Minister of State for Military Production, Salah Suleiman Gomblat, and Vietnamese Ambassador to Cairo, Nguyen Nam Duong, on expanding industrial and technological co-operation.
During the talks, Gomblat highlighted the ministry’s 15 industrial companies and four service firms, which produce ammunition, tanks, mortars, artillery, radar, signalling and electronic warfare systems, alongside civilian products and services, including maintenance, integrated solutions and telecommunications through TUYA Technology.
He also outlined the role of the Centre for Scientific and Technological Excellence in converting research and development into industrial products, and the ministry’s capabilities in producing steel, ferrous and non-ferrous castings and industrial components.
Participation in the exhibition will showcase these capabilities and open opportunities for international partnerships and joint manufacturing, in line with President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s directives to attract investment, localise advanced technology and strengthen industrial co-operation.
Ambassador Duong, meanwhile, expressed Vietnam’s interest in partnerships with the ministry’s companies, particularly in defence industries, information systems and technological transformation, including cooperation with TUYA Technology.
Both sides agreed to pursue practical partnerships, technology exchange and closer economic and industrial ties.
