Kuwaiti lecturers to educate Nato personnel on regional issues
Kuwaiti lecturers will be educating Nato personnel on some regional issues under an unprecedented agreement between the alliance and Kuwait. The accord also allows the two partners to organize joint courses.
Lt Gen Wolf-Dieter Loeser, the head of the Nato Defense College (NDC), told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that Nato and a Kuwaiti delegation that included heads of military academies chaired by Shaikh Thamer Al Ali Sabah Al Salem Al Sabah, Deputy Chief of the Kuwaiti National Security Agency, agreed on organizing several joint activities “very soon.”
Mutual understanding on certain “political and cultural and religious conducts and joint cooperation between Nato allied states were necessary to confront global challenges, namely terrorism, spread of weapons of mass destruction, threats caused by “rogue states,” energy security and cyber attacks and crimes, Loeser said.
Kuwait will dispatch more cadets to take part in special courses on the Middle East while the academy will send its 80 enlistees of several member states of the organization to the Northern Arabian Gulf country for follow-up courses on regional issues.
Loeser said that the academy was ready to host academic lecturers from Kuwait for a week-long course at the Nato academy headquarters.
“Such an unprecedented integrated workshop would certainly be beneficial for Nato,” he said.
Shaikh Thamer Al Ali had lectured at the college as part of a 10-week course about the Mediterranean Dialogue and the Istanbul initiative.
