The general expressed his strong support to parachuting as military sport with also operational value.

"I am confident that 45th WMPC in 2021 will be well prepared and I am looking forward to our co-operation in the next two years. The parachuting team of Qatar has participated in CISM WMPCs first time in 2009 and became a strong team with several CISM medals in the past ten years. So this experience together with blue skies and sun of Qatar will be the solid ground for a successful WMPC", reported the PCSC Parachuting Colonel Rittenschober after his visit back to CISM HQ.
