During the closing ceremony, the Vice Chairman of NCSM Brigadier General Hatem Alzoubi and Bulgarian Military Assistant Attaché MAJ Lazar Nikolov greeted the participants and the CMDR COE’s team for the successful completion of this cooperative event. During his speech, the Brigadier Alzoubi expressed his gratitude to the CMDR COE’s team for their support to the capability development process and the desire for continuing this fruitful cooperation in the future.
