ShareCAIRO: The 65th symposium of the Committee for Unifying Military Terminology and Concepts kicked off on Sunday at the headquarters of the Arab League, with the participation of Kuwait Director of the Military Department at the Arab League. Minister Plenipotentiary Tariq Abdul Salam said in his opening speech that the symposium, chaired by the Sultanate of Oman, will discuss military abbreviations for land, sea, air, and air defense forces, weapons of mass destruction, signals, information systems, and joint supply.
Abdul Salam added that the holding of this symposium, which will continue until October 30, comes as a continuation of previous symposiums and is based on the recommendations of the 64th symposium.
