Colonel Reuben Dela Klutse, Commander of APOTS, briefed the delegation on the school’s mission and its huge impact on global peacekeeping. From specialized training programs to meeting international standards, APOTS continues to be a powerhouse within the Ghana Armed Forces - equipping personnel with the skills they need to succeed in the field and to meet strict international standards of operating in the theater.

HE Dr Kvistad, during his visit reflected on the deep-rooted ties between Norway and Ghana, specifically our history of serving together in UNIFIL (Lebanon).
