On 11 April 2018, the Executive Director of CEPOL, Mr. Detlef Schroeder, met with the Commander of the Lebanese Internal Security Forces (ISF) Institute, General Ahmad Al Hajjar, who was accompanied by a high ranking ISF delegation. The delegation attended a Study Visit at the Hungarian Ministry of Interior Leadership and Development Centre organised by CEPOL.

The meeting took place at the CEPOL headquarters and focused on bilateral cooperation. In this respect, CEPOL Executive Director, Mr Schroeder, presented the Agency’s mandate and training portfolio, and was briefed on the training system of the Lebanese Internal Security Forces. General Al Hajjar presented the ISF Strategic Plan 2018-2022. The participants of this high level meeting also exchanged views on the existing and future cooperation between CEPOL and law enforcement in Lebanon, and in particular with the ISF. CEPOL and ISF are partners in the implementation of an EU-funded project that focuses on law enforcement training and cooperation. Both parties expressed their interest to work more closely together in the future in the field of law enforcement training, while opportunities of closer collaboration were identified.
