During their visit, the Iraqi delegation also had the opportunity to participate in a workshop on curriculum development and quality assurance. This workshop provided valuable insights into best practices in military education and allowed for the exchange of knowledge and experiences between Iraqi representatives and their NATO counterparts. The workshop focused on enhancing the quality of education and training programs, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of the Iraqi security forces.
In addition to the workshop, the Iraqi representatives visited the NATO Defense College, where they were able to observe first-hand the training and educational programs offered to military officers from NATO member countries and partner nations. This provided them with a valuable opportunity to learn from NATO’s experience in military education and apply some of these best practices to their own institutions. The visit also included meetings with senior NATO officials to discuss areas of mutual interest and explore opportunities for further cooperation.
Overall, the visit served as a platform for strengthening the partnership between Iraq and NATO in the field of defense education. Through the DEEP program, Iraq has been able to benefit from NATO’s expertise and support in enhancing the quality of its military education institutions. The regular review of defense education activities and the exchange of best practices have helped to improve the capabilities of the Iraqi security forces and contribute to the overall security and stability of the region. The visit also highlighted the importance of continued cooperation and collaboration between Iraq and NATO in addressing common security challenges and advancing mutual interests in the defense sector.
