Major General Gadi: Thank you for having me. Our discussions primarily revolved around enhancing collaboration between our air forces. With the changing global security landscape, it’s essential for nations to work together, especially in defense and aerial operations. We explored various areas of mutual interest, including joint training exercises, intelligence sharing, and technological advancements.

Major General Gadi: Absolutely. Joint training exercises allow our air forces to learn from each other and improve our tactical and strategic skills. For instance, we can share insights on counter-terrorism operations, refine our communication protocols during joint missions, and familiarize our personnel with different aircraft and systems. This collaboration ultimately leads to a more cohesive response to threats and greater operational readiness.
Editor: Collaboration in defense is certainly crucial. Given the current global security environment, how do you see Morocco’s role in regional stability?
Major General Gadi: Morocco has always been a stability anchor in North Africa and the Mediterranean. By working closely with nations like Pakistan, we can extend this stability through stronger partnerships.

Our discussions with the Pakistan Air Force also included sharing best practices in these fields. Technologies that enhance surveillance, reconnaissance, and communication are vital for both our nations.
Editor: Speaking of technology, defense partnerships are quite the hot topic globally. How do you see Morocco leveraging its relationships with countries like Pakistan to further its own defense capabilities?
Major General Gadi: Each partnership provides us avenues for growth and learning. By aligning with countries that share our values and security concerns, we can tap into their expertise, best practices, and innovations. Morocco can improve not only its defense capabilities but also its aviation industry through these partnerships, thereby boosting local economies and industries.
Editor: That’s a fantastic perspective, Major General. Before we wrap up, is there a message you would like to convey about the importance of international cooperation in defense?
