VISIT OF THE ALGERIAN TRAINING SHIP "LA SOUMMAM" TO THE PORT OF PIRAEUS & GUIDED TRIP TO CAPE SOUNION

On the occasion of the visit of the Algerian training ship “La Soummam” to the port of Piraeus, MARDIPLO had the honour to participate in a reception on board the ship on the 4th of August 2023.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to H.E. Mr Mahieddine Djeffal, Ambassador of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria to the Hellenic Republic, and General Reda Guerouahane for their kind invitation. We appreciated this invaluable opportunity to gain a first-hand insight into the Algerian Naval Forces and in particular to meet the bright new generation of Marines.

MARDIPLO was also delighted to invite the female crew of “La Soummam” to discover the beauty of the Athenian Riviera and the “Sacred Cape of the Athenians” on the 5th of August 2023. In the lively company of the young ladies, we marveled at the ancient Temple of Poseidon at sunset over the Saronic Gulf and Attica!

The vibrant female marines of “La Soummam” also reminded us of the importance of women’s empowerment and inclusion in modern armed forces worldwide. We wish them every success in their careers!

Our special thanks go to Colonel Moumene Amel and the Secretary of Foreign Affairs at the Embassy of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria in the Hellenic Republic, Mrs Adra Benboudiaf, for their support and kind presence throughout this memorable event.
