On the third day of the biennial conference, Sheikh Mohamed met Nebojsa Stefanovic, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of Serbia. In a separate meeting, he received Charalambos Petrides, Minister of Defence of Cyprus.

In each meeting, Sheikh Mohamed and the minister discussed ways of strengthening defence and military co-operation between the UAE and their respective country to serve mutual interests.

The ministers said Idex was an ideal international platform for potential strategic partnerships that serve international security, peace and stability and address common challenges, reported state news agency Wam.
