In his opening remarks, Colonel Mokhtar Ndoye, Head of the Police Development Pillar (MINUSMA), who represented the Police Commissioner of MINUSMA stated that the increasing deployment of peacekeepers into the Malian territory for peacekeeping duties made it imperative for a training of this kind to be done to sensitize local security agencies and mission personnel. He was particularly grateful to the KAIPTC and the Norwegian government under its TfP Programme for organizing the courses in Mali and expressed the hope that this relationship would continue.
