I am happy to note that Officer Cadets from 29 friendly foreign countries are presently undergoing training at IMA. The presence of foreign cadets here reflects India's commitment to fostering friendship, cooperation and peaceful relations with countries across the world.

It gives me pleasure to see before me the Officer Cadets, who would shortly embark on their journey. Their courage and wisdom will be their strengths. I am especially delighted to see the nine women cadets. This is a watershed moment in the history of IMA. It is not only a milestone in the history of India’s defence forces but also an inspiring example of India’s march towards women-led development.
