Speaking about the plans to hold the NATO DEEP overview conference in Brussels, Zegali said that the AEPTM representatives will be invited to participate in its work. Furthermore, ADL NATO experts are expected to visit the Agency to evaluate the current state of its equipment, and give an account of its needs, with an assessment of what should be done to activate the distance learning system.
