Czech police leave for Afghanistan mission

A five-member Czech police team has left for Afghanistan to serve a one-year mission in the province of Kunduz and the town of Faizabad as advisors to the border police and investigation experts. The members of the team all have experience from previous foreign missions and have worked in specialised police teams. Czech-Afghan police cooperation was the subject of talks between Czech deputy foreign minister Jaroslav Basta and Afghan police chief Zahir Aghbar who visited Prague recently.
