KUALA LUMPUR (DPA): A total of 769 companies have confirmed plans to participate in the fourth Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition in December, Malaysian Defense Minister Syed Hamid Albar announced yesterday.

A total of 534 companies would participate in the aerospace segment and the rest plan to take part in the maritime exhibition, Syed Hamid said.

In 1995, only 642 companies took part in the exhibition.

Syed Hamid said he expected this year's exhibition will attract at least 800 companies from 38 countries, the target originally set for the aerospace and maritime show.

"At the moment, about 80 percent of the exhibition space has been taken up," he said.
