A delegation from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) visited the Permanent HeadQuarters (PHQ) on 27 May in order to develop cross knowledge and understanding of respective mandates, missions and capacities.
This visit was the natural follow-up of the participation of the EUROGENDFOR Presidency to an OSCE Security Committee in last December, where the EUROGENDFOR accomplishments in Afghanistan were presented to the Committee.
The visit included comprehensive presentations of EUROGENDFOR and OSCE Secretariat (Conflict prevention Centre and Strategic Police Matters Unit), a visit in the different PHQ branches, and a constructive discussion on possible ways of cooperation.
A short wrap-up meeting enabled to answer to the visitors final questions and to conclude on the fruitfulness of the visit and the greater mutual understanding and knowledge: EUROGENDFOR capacities and added values but also limitations and constrains are now well understood by our OSCE partner, paving the way for possible further cooperation.
