The CISM President General Piccirillo took the floor during the Closing Ceremony: “For our military athletes, it was a dream to be here in Doha and to compete at the Qatar Air Sports committee venue that hosted for the first time this important military competition. Through this military sport event, Qatar contributes to the rebirth of CISM after more than a year of suspending its sporting activities”.

“Qatar is the most active country in organizing huge international sport events (World cup 22, Asian Games 30). It is a result of a global strategy decided for many years. Through the organization of this military event with the participation of more than 35 countries, the Qatar Armed Forces have showed to the CISM’s countries its capacities to become an international military leader. During these two weeks, you have strongly contributed to the world security and to the promotion of peace worldwide”, added the CISM President.

 

“I wish to meet you again in Qatar for even greater games bringing together all the CISM countries around the universal values of the sport”, concluded General Piccirillo.
