Hello Matan,

What time does INDC want to visit NDU on 15 May? We will still do most of our planning when we meet on 22 February, however Rameez and I will need to start booking rooms now to ensure we have space available for the 15 May visit.

Hope you are well.

Hello Matan,

 

Thank you for your phone call today.

 

Here is the preliminary schedule for your 22 February visit to National Defense University in Washington, DC:

 

1100-1145: Meeting with Dr. Rameez Abbas and Ms. Simone Bak to discuss the 15 May agenda.

1145-1245: Meeting with the Director of Administration and Deputy Director of the International Student Management Office to discuss the International Fellows Program

 

NWC will likely reach out to you directly to coordinate a meeting time on the 22nd, but please let me know if for some reason you do not hear from them soon.

Sir,

 

Mr. Haim Waxman and I will be coming to Washington next month to prepare the College's trip in May. If it's possible we would want to come to the NDU and meet you and anyone else who can help with that.

Do you think that would be possible on Wednesday February 22nd around 11:00 AM?

 

I will submit a formal VR threw our Embassy.

 

Regards,

 

 

Matan

Great, thanks MAJ Or. NDU is happy and available to support the 15 May visit. Please remember to submit an FVR with the DIA before your visit. This should be completed and sent to the DIA four weeks prior to the visit date.

Hello all,

 

Thank you all for your kind help and will move this forward. Our General, MG Tamir Hayman, the staff and the students are looking forward to this visit. I have no doubt that this will be a great opportunity for learning and bonding between both  of our institutes.

 

I will put together the list of the delegation in the next few days and send it to you, we will be about 50 people.

 

I also wanted to inform you that one or two of our instructors will be in Washington in order to prepare this trip during Februarys 2017, when I will finalize it I will let you know and we will try to arrange a meeting at the NDU as well.

 

Thanks again for all your help.

 

Regards,

Josh, 

 

Thank you for your email and sorry for the delayed response. I was out of the office unexpectedly this week so am still catching up on  a few emails. 

 

This is great news that the Israelis want to visit NDU again. I'm checking your proposed dates with our leadership and will get back to you and MAJ Or as soon as we have finalized your visit request. 

 

In the mean time, please send me a proposed delegation list, along with the name/rank/title of the delegation head. 

 

Kindest regards,

Dear Josh,

 

I write to introduce Ms. Simone Bak, NDU's International Visits Program Manager. I met with Simone this morning about the INDC visit, and conveyed the key details, including the May 15 date and the desire for substantive interactions.

 

Simone will work with you to coordinate the visit as a whole, including protocol issues, an office call with NDU leadership, and the general schedule for your group.

 

I will arrange the two panel discussions: one on US military service cultures, and one on a strategic issue to be determined.

 

Simone- as we spoke about, I had the good fortune of meeting with Dr. Josh Krasna when I visited the Israel National Defense College this past summer. He is an instructor at INDC and the point of contact for the INDC visit to NDU.

 

Thanks all around, and looking forward to working with you both!


- Rameez
