On 30 January 2018, the JALLC received the visit of the Norwegian Ambassador to Portugal – His Excellency Anders Erdal. The Ambassador had an Office Call with the JALLC's Commander—Brigadier General Mário Barreto—followed by a briefing on the JALLC's mission, activities, its role, and overall contribution to the Transformation of the Alliance.

The ensuing discussion among the Ambassador and the JALLC's staff attending the briefing, provided the diplomat with an improved understanding of the Centre’s latest analytical projects and Lessons Learned related activities.

This visit formed part of the JALLC's wider outreach and communications plan which is intended to increase the JALLC's visibility both inside and outside of NATO as well as improve the understanding of the JALLC's activities and contribution to NATO.
