NATO HQ 16 Dec. 2004

Season's greetings by General Harald Kujat, Chairman of the Military Committee Multimedia Audio file .MP3/ 384Kb Video I want to use this opportunity to send you Season's Greetings and all the best in the coming year 2005. The last year has been a very challenging one and I think the next year will be as challenging as this year; so you, the soldiers out in Afghanistan, on the Balkans and in Iraq you have done an excellent job. You have served NATO, you have served your nations and you have done a lot for the people in your country. In Afghanistan we have initiated a democratic process with elections and we have provided peace and stability there. And on the Balkans, this is already a success story for many years. Now we are taking up the NATO Training Mission in Iraq which will be as challenging as the other operations before or even more challenging. Thank you very much for all you have done. All the best to you, good health and come back healthy, and God bless you.
