During the Assembly proceedings, Colonel Borghino addressed the delegations, reaffirming the ISSF’s commitment to the partnership and encouraging member nations to continue investing in military shooting sport events and development initiatives.
“We believe in this collaboration. We believe in military sport. And we believe in what we can achieve together,” Colonel Borghino said during his speech.
He also highlighted the importance of maintaining strong international competition structures despite current logistical and financial challenges faced by organisers.
“I encourage all member nations to consider organizing shooting events, at both continental and world level. Because without organizers, there are no competitions — and without competitions, there is no development.”
