Brigadier General Bachaalani delivered a speech on the occasion in which he stated: “This unprecedented cooperation in the history of the Regional Demining School and local associations comes in terms of mine danger awareness and sparing citizens from getting injured following their explosion, particularly in light of the large number of mines and cluster bombs bombed by the Israeli enemy and the remnants of war infesting our land for decades.

Therefore, we are all called to exert extreme efforts in order to curb the repercussions of this danger. It is worth mentioning that throughout long years, we were able to accomplish a noticeable progress in this field, in terms of raising awareness against the dangers of mines and cluster bombs, which is the primary step to avoid these dangers, in addition to humanitarian demining.”

The ceremony ended with the distribution of certificates and a cocktail reception was held on the occasion.
