Defence Chief's Annual Conference Reports Challenges Facing Armed Forces
Wednesday, 21 February 2018
The annual conference of the Chief of Defence, Lt. Gen. Andrei Botsev, is held here on Tuesday and Wednesday under the motto "The challenges to the national defence system and the use of the Armed Forces in the event of a military-political crisis".
Speaking during the forum's opening Tuesday, Defence Minister Krassimir Karakachanov said that the Army must be sufficiently provided for in advance, if it is to be relied upon during crises. This means managing to fully utilize taxpayers' money by turning it into actual defence capabilities, he added.
