During the meeting the incoming CoESPU's initiatives have been highlighted; among then in particular for the training framework should be quoted:
- the FPU Senior Staff's Courses, to be held 4 times a year, lasting four weeks and involving 40 participants each;
- the "Training/Mentoring of FPU Command Staff" courses prepared for FPU and developed through the "train the trainers" method. This course will last 3-4 week and would be completed with a monitoring mentoring activity to be developed in the partner foreign countries, through MAT (Mobile Assistant Teams).
Ending the meeting the DoS representatives have stressed the complete satisfaction with the CoESPU standards and procedures, as well underling the relevant achievement managed in the Stability Police Training field up to now; it should be noticed that the US President had already appreciated, at the UN Assembly General, the preformed task in the peacekeeping field.
Insofar the representatives have underlined their commitment, that should be developed through the UN diplomatic channel, to widespread the CoESPU's activities in order to increase its role as Center of Excellence beyond the G8 player toward the entire international community.
