deep sense of appreciation that I receive in the international
community for the ability of our military abroad in their
missions, in particular for their ability to understand the
territory, for their ability to forge relationships with the
populations, for the professionalism and great effectiveness of
their action," he said.
"The work carried out in these missions contributes to stability
