Mohamed bin Zayed visits Dubai Airshow

His Highness visited the pavilions of a number of the participating companies, including China's CATIC, France's Dassault & MBDA and Sweden's SSAB, where he was briefed by their executives on the disruptive technologies on display during the global show. The conversations touched on the latest global developments in areas of defence, with Sheikh Mohamed wishing the participants all success in their business endeavours.
