Canada celebrates 60th anniversary of NORAD
Ottawa, May 12 (IBNS): Canada is celebrating the 60th anniversary of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), an organisation which provides aerospace warning, air sovereignty and protection to North America.
The organisation was created by Canada and the United States.
In a tweet, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thanked all men and women who work for the organisation.
He tweeted, "NORAD is an enduring symbol of the important partnership between Canada & the US, and today, we celebrate its 60th anniversary and thank the men & women in uniform who work together to protect the safety & security of both our countries."
The organisation was formed on May 12, 1958.
In a statement, Trudeau said: "The key to NORAD’s success has been its ability to evolve and meet new challenges, and to take advantage of new opportunities. We can trust in its ability to continue to adapt as needed to meet the needs of the future.
"On behalf of the Government of Canada, I thank the members of the Canadian and United States Armed Forces working side-by-side in NORAD for their service over the past 60 years. Canada’s commitment to NORAD is unwavering, and we will continue to work together to protect the safety and security of our countries."
