The Honourable Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Muhammad Matawalle, will participate in the Egypt Defence Exhibition (EDEX 2025), taking place from 1–4 December 2025 in Cairo, Arab Republic of Egypt, as part of ongoing efforts to deepen Nigeria’s defence partnerships and enhance military capability development.
EDEX is the leading defence and security exhibition covering Africa and the Middle East, providing participating countries a strategic platform to engage global manufacturers, assess emerging technologies, and explore advanced systems across land, sea, and air. The event serves as an important avenue for strengthening defence collaboration and identifying opportunities for capability upgrades.
During the visit, Dr. Matawalle will also hold a bilateral meeting with the Commander of the Egyptian Armed Forces/Minister of Defence and Military Production to discuss shared security priorities and avenues for expanded cooperation between Nigeria and Egypt.
