The Ministry of Defence’s Directorate of Moral Guidance yesterday announced the arrival of a new batch of reinforcement troops from the fraternal Turkish Armed Forces at Al Udeid Air Base, including elements of the Turkish Joint Forces Command.
The new reinforcement batch is set to join the Turkish forces currently based at Tariq bin Ziyad battalion, which comes within the joint defence agreement between the State of Qatar and the Republic of Turkey.
This cooperation between the Qatari Armed Forces and the Turkish forces comes within the framework of combating terrorism and violent extremism, and maintaining security in the region.
The joint defence cooperation between the two countries is an important part of the international efforts to combat terrorism. The newly joined forces will begin military exercises with the Qatari Armed Forces to increase joint military capabilities.
