For their part, representatives of Hellenic, which specialises in the design, development and manufacture of advanced military and security electronic systems and software, praised the progress achieved by Egypt’s military production companies in manufacturing and technological capabilities.
They expressed their commitment to maintaining and expanding co-operation with the Ministry of Military Production in ways that serve the mutual interests of both sides and support efforts to advance high-tech manufacturing.
