Ahmed bin Abdulaziz Al-Ohali, inaugurated Wednesday the pavilion of the General Authority for Military Industries participating in the Bahrain International Airshow, which is held under the patronage of King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, during the period November 9-11, 2022 at Sakhir Air Base, Bahrain.

The opening of the GMAI’s pavilion, which included the participation of the Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI) and World Defense Show (WDS), witnessed the presence of a number of officials and investors in the military industries sector, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

Eng. Al-Ohali stressed that the GAMI’s participation in the Bahrain International Airshow comes as an extension of the efforts of the Authority and its partners from the public and private sectors to achieve the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's goals, to enhance strategic independence, raise readiness in the military industries sector, and to localize more than 50% of government spending on military equipment and services.

He drew attention to the great interest and unlimited support from the wise leadership of the Kingdom, which the sector enjoys to move forward in achieving the goals of the vision for national sustainability and the development of the national economy through the localization of the military industries sector.

The General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) is the regulator, enabler and licensor of the Kingdom’s military industries sector.  GAMI’s focus is on localizing more than 50% of military expenditure by 2030, by building a sustainable domestic defense sector, in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
