At the outset of the ceremony, Brigadier Hamad Ahmed al-Nuaimi, the Commander of the Ahmed bin Mohamed Military College, delivered a speech in which he extended his sincere thanks and appreciation to HH the Emir for honouring and gracing the graduation ceremony of the 10th batch of the Qatari Armed Forces and Interior ministry’s cadets.
