35:34Thank you very much, Your Excellency.
35:36You may take your seat.
36:59Please, be seated.
37:30Good afternoon to you all.
37:36I'm very pleased to join you today, and I congratulate those who have completed the Senior Command and Staff College
37:48course.
37:52You arrived here as experienced professionals and are now living with broader knowledge, sharper strategic awareness, and greater responsibility.
38:11I want to acknowledge and thank your families and friends.
38:15They share the burden of military service, and your conduct should always honor their sacrifices and support.
38:30I also thank the faculty for their dedication and the RDF leadership for ensuring that this courage is equipped to
38:45uphold the highest standards of excellence.
38:54This cohort brings together officers from the RDF and from partner and allied countries across the region and beyond.
39:12I thank them for being good partners and friends and joining us for the good conduct and completion of this
39:32course.
39:35The values, the value of the connections that you have made here cannot be overstated.
39:50When officers who trained together meet in operations, regional engagements or moments of crisis,
40:01they already possesses, they already possess an understanding that strengthens cooperation.
40:11This course was designed to enhance your ability to navigate complex and sometimes seemingly impossible situations.
40:26There are, however, certain qualities that cannot give you that you must personally cultivate.
40:45The first is courage.
40:50You will not always have guarantees, and for some, this can create a paralysis.
41:00And courage is what enables a leader to act decisively despite uncertainty and competing pressures.
41:18The second is judgment.
41:21The second is judgment.
41:25As your responsibilities increase, so will the consequences of your decisions.
41:34Good judgment is developed through experience, collaboration and the humility to learn.
41:45You will not always have to learn from mistakes and adjust course when necessary.
41:56The third is purpose, which comes from knowing precisely what you are fighting for.
42:16For wonder, that purpose is anchored in protecting our people and sovereignty.
42:38While advancing the continued transformation of our country.
42:50The question before you now is not whether you can lead, but how you lead.
43:09These three qualities must be demonstrated and renewed every day.
43:25The current standing of RIDF does not exist by default.
43:36It has been built over many years through dedicated service, discipline and professionalism.
43:51This is what has earned the trust of our citizens, partners and those alongside whom our forces operate.
44:10That responsibility now extends more directly to you.
44:22The environment in which you serve will continue to evolve with the new technologies and threats that demand constant adaptation.
44:43The choices you make, therefore, from this point forward will influence not only operations, but also the culture, standards and
45:05effectiveness of the institutions.
45:13You must lead with integrity and never stop learning and improving.
45:27Once again, congratulations on this milestone.
45:32I wish you success in your duties.
45:40I wish you success in your duties and all the best to your families and for those allied friends, the
45:57best to your people and countries.
46:01I thank you very much.
46:09Thank you, Your Excellency, for your inspiring words.
46:12You may take your seat.
46:13You may take your seat.
46:13You may take your seat.
46:18Your Excellency, this concludes the graduation ceremony here at the graduation square.

47:22After signing the visitor's book and taking group photos,
