BGen Friday hosts first international visitor in his role as Commandant
RMCC received a visit from the Commandant of the Bangladesh Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), MGen Major General Md Siddiqur Rahman Sarker and a few members of his staff on Thursday and Friday (28 & 29 May) last week.
MIST is a relatively new University in Bangladesh providing university education to both military and civilian students at the undergraduate and post-graduate level primarily in engineering programmes.
They were visiting RMCC to at this time to determine if there is potential opportunity for cooperation and collaboration in mutual areas of research and educational interest between our two institutions.
This was the first opportunity as Commandant, BGen Friday had in supporting the global engagement strategy. From all reports this was a highly productive and successful visit.
