sports organization military, and we are proud of the fact that Al Shino became the first
GCC, Arab and Asian official to obtain this position which is a great achievement for the
Kingdom of Bahrain and Asia," said Askar.

general assembly in his qualifications and experience, which promises to see a bright
future for the CISM.

CISM and contribute to developing this sport worldwide, and seeking the noble goals of
