To begin with, I would like to express my thanks to all Romanian soldiers and officers, and especially to the members of the Advise-and-Assist Trainers, which are a model for my soldiers and officers. For example, their presence here has inspired a sense of pride for soldiers, officers, and for us all, through their experience shared during the training courses, they have shown us how to face the evil with our heads up high. We thank the Romanian Army! My thanks to the Romanian officers and soldiers who have trained us! We thank Romania and Romanian citizens! I am happy to be able to express my thanks to the Romanians! Thank you for working side by side with us so that the Afghanistan National Army (ANA) improves day by day in its fight with the forces of evil!
