The UAE delegation - which participated in meeting discussions revolving around global military affairs - included senior officers and officials of the Ministry of Defence, and Ambassador Saeed Obaid Al Kaabi, Head of the UAE Mission to the NATO.
NATO defence ministers exchanged discussions on a number of issues, including political and military developments in the US-led NATO operations, the future of the coalition, as well as global threats to security, and the need to tackle terrorism in Africa.
