On High Instructions of His Majesty the King, Supreme Commander and Chief of the General Staff of the Royal Armed Forces, a delegation of executives and trainees from the 25th Class of the Higher Defense Course of the Royal College of Higher Military Education (CREMS) carried out a study mission in Madrid on May 18-25, as part of the training curriculum.
The mission, part of the dynamic bilateral cooperation in defense matters and the desire to strengthen academic, cultural and strategic ties between partner institutions, was led by CREMS Director Major Colonel Lahcen El Hajjami, accompanied by Professor Mohamed Essaouri, Academic Advisor.
The program included several high-level visits, notably to strategic establishments such as the Center for National Defense Studies (CESEDEN), a reference institution under the Spanish Ministry of Defense, the “Le Goloso” military base, home to the “Guadarrama” XII operational brigade, and the Spanish company Escribano Mechanical & Engineering, active in the defense industry.
The study mission provided an opportunity for fruitful exchanges on common regional security challenges, evolving operational doctrines, technological innovations and prospects for military cooperation.
Beyond the military aspect, the delegation explored Spain’s vast cultural riches. A guided tour was organized to the historic city of Toledo, an emblematic site that bears witness to the historical depth, civilization heritage and cultural intermingling of the Spanish nation.
The delegation also met Morocco’s Ambassador to Spain Karima Benyaich, who highlighted the importance of this visit, which contributes to strengthening Moroccan-Spanish military ties and coincides with the celebration of the 69th anniversary of the creation of the FAR.
She emphasized the shared willingness of the two Kingdoms to promote exemplary cooperation in the field of security and defense, fostering ongoing and effective dialogue on common security challenges.
For his part, the Major-Colonel, CREMS Director, described this study tour as an essential component of the officers’ training curriculum, notably in terms of deepening academic achievements and strategic identities, with an intellectual and comparative openness, in favor of the exchange of experiences and expertise in the field of higher military education.
