On Sunday The Royal Jordanian National Defense College (RJNDC) opened a Defense and Diplomacy Training Course for Military Attachés, in cooperation with the Geneva Center for Security Policy (GCSP).

In his opening remarks, the college's commandant said, "Holding such courses fulfills the vision of His Majesty King Abdullah II and implements the policy of the General Command of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army to communicate with major international academic institutions alongside national academic institutions. This is in light of the efforts of both the RJNDC and the GCSP to establish this communication and train promising leaders from around the world in the field of diplomacy and international security policy."

Colonel Laurent Currit, Director of Training at the GCSP, explained that holding such a course is due to the important and prestigious position the RJNDC enjoys among its peers among international national defense colleges.

This course aims to familiarize military attachés in countries across the Middle East and the Mediterranean with communication skills and methods for obtaining information from open sources.

It is worth noting that this is the eleventh course of its kind held by the Royal Jordanian National Defense College in cooperation with the Geneva Center for Security Policy, with the participation of the Atlantic-Mediterranean Dialogue countries, the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative countries, the Partnership for Peace countries, NATO, and Jordan.
