At the start of the meeting, the minister stressed that the core mission of Military Production is to meet the Armed Forces’ needs for weapons, ammunition and equipment, as well as those of the civil police. He underscored the need to exert greater effort to reach the highest performance rates, and to continue following up on the development of production lines inside factories to ensure production continues at the required rates, and that all manufacturing operations are carried out within the set timeframes.
Gemblat noted that part of the ministry’s plan for the coming period is to develop weapons, equipment and ammunition within factories, keep pace with global developments, localise technology, and draw on promising talent within affiliated companies—engineers and workers alike—to develop ideas and future plans. He stressed the need for integration and cooperation with all relevant entities to ensure Egypt’s Armed Forces excel with the latest advances in military science worldwide.
