“The current international context, combined with the difficult conditions in our sub-region, are all factors that require us, more than ever, to continue the process of building a modern and professional army, which is distinguished by its great capabilities and a relevant military doctrine, inspired by our unchanging values and our secular national principles and which adapts to changes in the regional and international context.

On this occasion, he congratulated the graduates for the satisfactory results obtained, urging them to always acquire the qualities of an emeritus chef:
“I would like to recall, on this occasion, that the efforts that we are deploying, with dedication and sincerity, effectively reflect our firm desire to continue to promote People's National Army, at the strategic, operational and tactical levels, and to constantly watch over its increasing its combat capabilities and improving our training apparatus, in accordance with the standards of modern armies, through the mastery of training programs, relating to the art of combat, military strategy, defence and security.
The qualitative training that you have received responding effectively and rigorously to the major steps taken by PNA, at all levels, especially in the security context prevailing in our near and distant challenges and threats, to which we must give due attention. We must be ready for environment, with all that it imposes on us, as military, as all eventualities and thwart all hostile plans, secretly and openly hatched, against Algeria, by the enemies of yesterday and today, that targeted its stability and security.
It is up to you, therefore, the promoted ones, to take advantage of the most of the teaching that you have received, throughout your training course, at this prestigious educational institution, by showing perspicacity and analytical mind, to better understand the geopolitical and socio-economic changes that are taking place and be able, as leaders and managers, to make a prospective reading of events and initiate objective approaches, able to allow us to meet all the challenges ahead.”
