On Friday 13 March 2015, the NATO Defense College (NDC) was honoured to receive H.E. Zia Nezam, the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in Italy with his Defence Attach\u00e9 Col Mohammad Asef Azadi.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, the Ambassador and his Defence Attach\u00e9 were warmly welcomed<\/a> by NDC Commandant MajGen Janusz Bojarski (POL F) and were updated on College activities during the office call with the Commandant. They were then extensively briefed by Dr Jean-Loup Samaan (MEF) on the goals and activities of the NDC. <\/p>\n

Addressing<\/a> the members of the thirteenth NATO Regional Cooperation Course (NRCC-13) in a lecture entitled \u201cAfghanistan ajourn\u00e9e\u201d, the Afghan Ambassador offered an exhaustive overview of the political, economic and social situation of the Afghan State 13 years after the fall of the Taliban regime. H. E. Zia Nezam underlined the progress achieved and the efforts made in governance and social development in the region, emphasizing the important role of NATO and coalition forces in helping Afghanistan to build democratic institutions.<\/p>\n

The Ambassador also discussed the challenges that Afghanistan still faces, which represent the main threats to the country. <\/p>\n

A lively Q&A session followed, providing ample opportunity for in-depth discussion on related issues.<\/p>\n
