EUCAP Somalia and Operation ATALANTA Strengthen Maritime Security Cooperation in Puntland

On 20 October, EUCAP Somalia’s Field Office Puntland met with EUNAVFOR Operation ATALANTA’s Liaison Officer in Somalia and senior Puntland State Police representatives in Bossaso.

Discussions focused on tackling piracy and other illicit maritime activities through enhanced information-sharing, liaison and operational cooperation. Operation ATALANTA also outlined its maritime operations and opportunities for future engagement with Puntland’s maritime security forces.
