The delegation of the NDC was led by the Commandant, LtGen. Wolf-Dieter Loeser, and Course Members visited Abu Dhabi and Dubai receiving a comprehensive insight of Emirati Armed Forces and Foreign Policy. Three briefings, delivered by Brigadier Falah Mohamed Al Qahtani, Dr. Abdullah Al Madi, and Mahmood Sharif Mahmood were focused on Defence, Trade and Foreign Policy. In addition Course Members (CMs) had an overview of the Arabic culture and about the particular vision ensuing from that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">During the whole period of Field Study the interest in the NDC activities has been very high as proved by news published in Albanian, Spanish, Qatari, and Emirati media. Additionally the interest of CMs in learning about Armed Forces structures and commitments, strategic concepts and foreign policies of the Countries visited was always lively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Coming back to Rome CMs are looking forward a deserved Christmas holiday, enriched by the unique experience and knowledge achieved during the winter Field Study.<\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"FooterSignature\" >LtCol.
