They were then confronted with the complexities of decision-making and consensus-building in a multinational environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">To guide them through this exercise, Course Members were mentored by experts including Ambassador (Ret.) Tacan Ildem, Lieutenant General (Ret.) Jan Broeks, Lieutenant General (Ret.) Antonio Li Gobbi, Lieutenant General (Ret.) Michel Yakovleff, and Mr Ted Whiteside. With their extensive experience in diplomacy, military strategy, and international relations, these mentors provided invaluable insights and real-world perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
