General Major General P.S.C Ishaq delivered a speech on the occasion, in which he said: “The current stage is one of the harshest and most dangerous stages in the history of our country. What concerns us as a military institution is maintaining civil peace, confronting the threats of the Israeli enemy, and thwart terrorist plots aiming for our unity. The military institution is moving forward in assuming its national responsibilities, and devoting its utmost energies to complete its duties to the fullest.”

The Canadian Ambassador also delivered a speech in which she praised the high professionalism of the Lebanese Army, and commended the efforts made by the British training team, and the role played by female military personnel in the Lebanese Army.

In the end, the graduating units performed a live fire tactical drill.
