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.
