operation with the PCUz. During the visit the Afghan delegation met with the law enforcement authorities of Uzbekistan and participated in a roundtable discussion with representatives from relevant international organizations and embassies in Uzbekistan. The visit was organized to promote bilateral and regional co-operation and to boost the exchange of information in fighting drug trafficking in order to help developing effective counter narcotic strategies. Participants also learned about the operational practices of the neighbouring countries and discussed the practical application of new tools, mechanisms and realistic case-management as well as special investigative techniques and inter-agency co-operation methods. The visit was part of a larger OSCE-supported project to promote co-operation and information-sharing between Afghan law enforcement agencies at all levels and their counterparts in neighbouring countries (see also chapter 2.2). 152
