The official spokesperson for the Presidency stated that, during the meeting, the President reviewed the development strategy for the AOI—specifically regarding the enhancement of its manufacturing and technological capacities—as well as the organization’s ongoing activities, plans, and projects across both civil and military sectors. Major General Engineer Mohamed Abdel Fattah Abu Bakr presented several examples of the AOI’s success in localizing cutting-edge manufacturing technologies within new industrial fields, meeting the requirements of various industrial sectors in accordance with international quality standards, and opening new export markets—all in line with the implementation of Egypt Vision 2030. He also highlighted the AOI’s significant contributions to development projects in several African nations.

Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy, the official spokesperson, added that the AOI Chairman outlined the organization’s role in executing a number of strategic projects, including those supporting mass transit systems, freight transport, and light transport. He noted that the AOI is adopting an approach centered on expanding partnerships with the private sector and major international corporations, as well as attracting industrial investments. The official spokesperson stated that the President has directed continued, diligent efforts toward deepening local manufacturing, localizing technology, attracting both domestic and foreign investment, supporting national industry, boosting exports, expanding the production base, strengthening partnerships with the private sector, and improving the business climate. Furthermore, the President emphasized the need to transform the Arab Organization for Industrialization into a platform for industrial integration—one that brings together advanced manufacturing capabilities, the expertise and capacity of the private sector, and foreign investments and partnerships. This, in turn, would foster synergy among all relevant stakeholders and support the development of the nation’s industrial capabilities and competitiveness.
