EUPOL COPPS and Palestinian Police mark ‘Europe Day’ in Ramallah
A joint delegation comprised of EUPOL COPPS Mission and the Palestinian Civil Police (PCP) organized a joint activity on Tuesday to mark ‘Europe Day’ in an elementary school in Ramallah.
During the event held at Houari Boumediene School, Head of EUPOL COPPS Mission, top officials from Palestinian Ministry of Education, senior PCP officers, together with representatives from the Dutch and the Slovenian Representative offices in Ramallah, distributed small gifts to the pupils.
The Palestinian Police delegation was headed by Brig. Ibrahim Abu Ein, accompanied by a dozen senior police officers on this occasion.
“Today we mark Europe Day together with our counterparts the PCP and celebrate peace, unity and prosperity for a continent previously ravaged by war where former enemies came together and created a family of 27 member states”, said HoM Karin Limdal
“Despite the very difficult situation in the region, the educational system represents the primary institution where new generations are growing, and a peaceful and democratic society can flourish. The police play a fundamental role in those societies in serving the population and the importance of the children regarding the police as their friends and protector, is pivotal,” she added.
Staff members of the Mission distributed promotional materials such as T-shirts, bags and pencils to the children, showcasing the EU's support to the Palestinian people. The event also included an entertainment corner for children.
Europe Day marks the founding of the European Union, when European leaders decided to set aside differences and work together, for the greater good of the people of Europe.
