The training units of Arab militaries, including Kuwait, assembled for talks as part of efforts to look into the “imminent” threats posed by asymmetric warfare, the Cairo-based Arab League said on Sunday.
“Terrorist and armed” groups have stood to gain from rapid technological advancements as they seek to “foment instability and unrest,” the regional bloc’s Arab affairs and national security chief Khalil Al-Thawadi told the gathering.
It has become imperative to employ effective training techniques and skills in order to counter these threats, the official underlined, saying the talks in the Egyptian capital are a testament to the collective desire for more pan-Arab military cooperation.
The chief objective for the talks, which span over 10 days, is to explore the most cutting-edge methods in a bid to boost the military preparedness of the wider Arab region as a whole, he added.
