The EASF Director Dr Abdillahi Omar Bouh said the visit was a significance means to share experiences and knowledge between the two organizations. “EASF is one of the five regional organizations in Africa mandated to enhance peace and security on the continent and beyond,” he added.

The Director informed the guests of the steps EASF has taken to move to achieve its vision and mission. This, he said, includes equipping the organisation with personnel from all member states.

The head of the visiting delegation, Brigadier Mushtaq Ali, expressed appreciation for the discussions and presentations.
