BDF officers benefit from ITEC programme

Tuesday, March 28, 2017

Botswana Defence Force (BDF) personnel continue to benefit from the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) programme. ITEC was instituted in 1964 for the development of India’s relations with other developing countries on the basis of partnership and cooperation for mutual benefit.

A total of 44 BDF personnel received ITEC certificates from the High Commission of India to Botswana last Friday. More than 300 BDF officers have benefited from this programme.

According to the High Commissioner of India Dr Ketan Shukla, Botswana and India signed a Defence Forces Agreement in 1978, and his country provided expert training. He said the first Indian Army Training Team (IATT) came to Botswana as a small contingent of signal personnel.
