In his response, General Daoud acknowledged the challenges on ground, reminding the Force Commander that the "work is not easy but generals always have solutions." Nevertheless, with optimism, he pledged his continued support to the MNJTF. Insisting that Major General Ali could “always count on his support”

The call for unity and vigilance was a resonant conclusion to the visit, hinting at the continued multinational efforts in the fight against insurgency.
