A three days 2023 African Partnership Flight Conference has opened in Lusaka with a call to forge stronger partnerships, share knowledge, and work tirelessly to ensure that Airforces are supported with the necessary resources to accomplish their missions successfully.
The 2023 African Partnership Flight Conference is being co-hosted by the United States Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa, and the Zambia Air Force (ZAF) in Lusaka.
The African Partnership Flight Conference is a multilateral military-to-military engagement and security assistance event intended to strengthen United States strategic partnerships with key countries in Africa, share ideas on aviation related topics and enhance regional cooperation and interoperability.
ZAF Commander Lieutenant General, Collin Barry, officially opened the conference and emphasized the need to be guided by the principles of inclusivity, respect, shared responsibility and harness the power of collaboration, drawing upon the wealth of expertise and experience.
Barry said multilateral military engagement enables the airforce to pool its resources, expertise, and capabilities, thereby enhancing the collective ability to overcome logistical challenges.
“Aviation has always been a symbol of freedom, progress, and connectivity, transcending borders and uniting people in platforms such as this African Partnership Flight Conference,” he said.
Barry said the African Partnership Flight serves as a catalyst for this collaboration, bringing together professionals from diverse backgrounds to collectively address common security concerns.
“Allow me to mention that, Military campaigns and operations, more so peace support operations are inherently complex endeavours.
They require meticulous planning, coordination, and execution to attain the desired endstates,” he said.
