02:33The government's whole goal is to increase the exports, the licensing has been a little

02:44liberalized for the export.

02:47Then our defense attaches to the other countries, they tell the countries about these equipment,

02:56what are their benefits and why they should take these equipment.

03:02So I hope that once these equipment have been battle tested, the export will increase.

03:12Already we are exporting 100 countries, so I hope that in these 100 countries,

03:19the equipment will be going.
