The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) held a five-day course in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, aimed at helping border police better detect and analyze threats.
Thirteen officers from the northern border of Afghanistan completed the course organized by the OSCE Centre in Ashgabat and the United Nations’ Border Management Northern Afghanistan project.
The officers learned about topographical maps, methods for collecting and analyzing information, and ways to enhance reconnaissance, observation and communication skills. Natalya Drozd, head of the OSCE Centre in Ashgabat, said the training recognized the importance of strengthening border security.
“We organized this training course to support international efforts in fostering bilateral relations between the governments of these two countries, which share a long border and are willing to contribute to strengthening the capacities of the border troops,” Drozd said. Source: OSCE
