“Our conference schedule is ambitious this year but also recognising the key objectives that this conference must complete. Bringing together the Partnership stakeholders in Doha in a first class venue will reap immense rewards. We will have detailed briefings, operational updates and a series of key national and bi-lateral meetings,” said Lieutenant Colonel Darcy Wright, Project Leader. “The Partnership Directorate core team along with the Military Cooperation Country Desk Officer have been preparing for this event for some time now and it is clear that those attending will get maximum value, benefit and wider understanding from their time in Doha.''
