Japan to train Afghan police in Turkey

The government will dispatch police personnel to Turkey to train Afghan police officers, using police training facilities in Turkey. Japanese police are expected to teach Afghan counterparts how to do crime lab work, fight drug trafficking and set up a koban system, among other things. To both improving security in Afghanistan and indirectly supporting the U.S. government, which is bearing a huge financial burden from its operations in Afghanistan.

In November last year, the Japanese government promised to contribute a total of 5 billion dollars to replace the Indian Ocean mission as Japan's main contribution to stabilizing Afghanistan.

The government, which is already paying part of salaries of about 80,000 Afghan police officers, decided on the police training project in an Islamic third country after concluding it would be problematic to dispatch Japanese police officers to Afghanistan.

Originally, Indonesia was one of the candidate countries for training Afghan police, but it was not prepared to host the project.

In my opinion, It is good idea to train military and support because the military of country is the main factor to protect the country.
