In this regard, I would like to emphasize the assistance given to the implementation of the Defense Capability Development Initiative (DCBI). At the same time, I would like to thank the partners for the exchange of experience in the field of arms and ammunition stock management carried out in our country, as well as for the training of the military in the specialized courses organized in specialized schools in the USA,” said Minister Nosatîi.
