Last week, the Mission Force Commander of EUTM Somalia, Brigadier General Elio MANES, welcomed the Italian Defence Attaché to Somalia, Navy Captain Antonino MAZZOCCA, to the Mission Headquarters in Mogadishu.

The meeting provided an opportunity to exchange views on EUTM Somalia’s activities and on the continued cooperation in support of Somalia’s security and defence institutions.

As Italy’s Defence Attaché to Somalia, Captain Mazzocca plays an important role in fostering defence relations and supporting coordination between the Italian and Somali defence institutions.

The visit also highlighted the close cooperation between EUTM Somalia and Italy in support of the Mission’s mandate and its efforts to strengthen the capabilities of the Somali Armed Forces.

EUTM Somalia remains committed to working closely with its partners in support of a more capable, professional and accountable Somali security sector.
