Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Visits Emirati Military Students in Greece

Sheikh Khaled Bin Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, conducted a site visit to the Technical Training & Qualification Centre in Greece. The facility is a key partner for the instruction and preparation of military personnel across a broad range of technical disciplines.

During his visit, the Crown Prince interacted directly with Emirati military students, engaging in discussions about their specialized training and the practical knowledge they are acquiring. He expressed his support for their academic journey and highlighted the importance of their professional development for the future of the UAE Armed Forces. Conveying warm greetings from President Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, he emphasized that the UAE leadership remains committed to monitoring their progress and ensuring they receive the resources necessary to excel in their national duties.

Sheikh Khaled encouraged the students to act as representatives of their homeland, noting that their personal conduct, discipline, and commitment to excellence serve as a reflection of the nation. He urged them to uphold Emirati values as they undergo their rigorous military and technical training abroad.
