GENEVA, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- A Swiss government team on Monday met and held discussion with a visiting Tunisian delegation on national strategies and plans related to the prevention of violent extremism (PVE).
The Swiss Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the visit is one of the concrete results to have emerged from the declaration of intent signed by the Swiss and Tunisian governments on cooperation in PVE and reflects the will of both countries to take action.
"Throughout the day, focus was put on best practice and the challenges in such areas as interdisciplinary cooperation and coordination, the role of civil society, radicalization and extremism among prison inmates," the Swiss foreign ministry said in the statement.
Their meeting and discussion will continue on Tuesday with each country presenting their national counter-terrorism arrangements and will include specific topics such as managing returning jihadist fighters and combating radicalization on the internet.
The participants will then move on to Geneva for discussions with the cantonal institutions responsible for PVE. The visit will conclude on Thursday.
