Iran Ready to Train Foreign Armies’ Personnel

Commander of Iran’s Army Major General Seyed Abdolrahim Mousavi said that DAFOOS University enjoys necessary requirements to train foreign students.

He made the remarks on Tuesday on the sideline of the graduation ceremony of a host of students in DAFOOS, here in Tehran.

Mousavi said that there has been submitted some requests for accepting foreign students in the university, adding, “The Army enjoys the required infrastructure and conditions for admission of students from other countries.”

"All that students need to improve their command, scientific level and enhance their decision-making in the military sector are available in DAFOOS, and we have no problem in accepting foreign students to prepare them for higher levels," he noted.  “Of course, admission of students depends on diplomacy and bilateral relations (with the foreign country).”

He went on to say that some representatives of “friendly” countries are now receiving required training in the Iranian Army’s college.

"260 officers from the (Iranian) Armed Forces and a number of others from the friendly states, including Indians, Pakistanis and Omanis, are present in these courses," Valivand said, addressing a ceremony to start the new DAFOOS course.

He added that dissertation of these senior foreign officers will focus on issues related to their countries' armies.
