After having visited the 2017 International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) at the head of the Russian delegation, Manturov noted that the United Arab Emirates did not express much interest in the civil aviation airplanes produced in Russia, as the country used the aircraft by Boeing and Airbus.
