BDF Commander-in-Chief Field Marshal Shaikh Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Khalifa attended the graduation ceremony of the Seventh Joint Command and Staff Session yesterday.

The BDF Commander-in-Chief was welcomed by Defence Affairs Minister Maj. General Yousuf bin Ahmed Al Jalahma and BDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Dhiab bin Saqr Al Nuaimi, among others. On the occasion, the BDF Commander-in-Chief conveyed the greetings of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.

Addressing the graduates, he stressed that obtaining the Master Degree in military sciences was a step forward in assuming future responsibilities, facing challenges and taking decisions regarding them. He thanked the lecturers, the teaching staff and the college commandership for the efforts exerted during the session.

Pointing out the ambient dangers in the region ignited by greed and ambition of some countries to impose their leverage, he said the Saudi-led Decisive Storm and Restoring Hope operations aimed at protecting Yemen and the legitimate government there as well as carrying out the UN Security Council’s resolutions concerning threats posed to the Yemeni people by the terrorist militias.
