Dr. Daud was delivering his address as chief guest to the internees, faculty, and researchers at a dinner organised by South Asian Strategic Stability Institute on the occasion of distribution of certificates, awards and shields to the participants of a course on National Security Youth Engagement and Leadership Programme here Monday evening.

As many as 28 internees attended this 6-week summer class Internship programme.
