Strengthening international cooperation

Lieutenant Colonel Béla Görbe, Acting Commander HDF MTC welcomed the major general, and introduced him to the organizational structure and tasks of the Centre. International training programs received special attention during the discussion, because for several decades now, they have been providing high-level preparations for personnel serving in international missions.

As part of the program, the major general was given an insight into the training activities of the currently ongoing 9th edition of the Peace Operations Cooperation Course and had an informal conversation with the students about the experiences they have gained so far.

During the day, he visited some training sessions which model the environment of real-world peace operations, providing the course participants with the opportunity to develop their skills in decision-making, communication and coordination in an international environment.

The major general expressed his appreciation for the professional work of the HDF MTC and highlighted its practice-oriented approach and the strengthening of international cooperative elements.

The visit contributes to the deepening of the cooperation between the Hungarian Defence Forces and the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus, and strengthens Hungary’s role in international peace support operations.

During the day, Major General Erdenebat Batsuuri paid a courtesy call to General Dr. Gábor Böröndi, Chief of HDF Defence Staff, who last week visited the Hungarian personnel deployed with the UNFICYP mission.
