This may include concrete cooperation activities, capacity building and agreements. The State Border Guard, within the framework of the "Agreement between the State Border Guard of the Republic of Latvia and the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation Regarding Cooperation in the Field of Combating Illegal Immigration", has organised two visits of exchange of experience in 2010 that were related to the matters of accommodation of illegal immigrants. The State Border Guard, within the framework of the joint working party of Latvia and Russia for fight against illegal migration in 2010 has made exchange of updated information between Latvia and Russia and has organised exchange of risk analysis data between the State Border Guard and Pskov Regional Authority of the Federal Security Services of the Russian Federation and Russian Federation. In 2010 within the framework of the cooperation plan, meeting with representatives of the Border Guard Committee of Belarus was organised in order to share experience of the State Border Guard and the best practice in the field of immigration control.

On 11-14 October 2010, three leading officials of the Moldovan judicial system visited Latvia within the framework of the development cooperation project. The project aimed to provide support to the strengthening of the rule of law, democracy and administrative capacity of Moldova. During the visit for exchange of experience, the representatives of Moldova familiarised themselves with the work organisation of the Latvian judicial system institutions and met officials of the Supreme Court, the Riga Regional Court, the Court Administration, and the Latvian Judicial Training Centre. Moldova as the key current objective has set its integration to the European Union, thus the implementation of this project made a positive contribution to the course of reforms in Moldova. The project was implemented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in cooperation with the Court Administration with Court Administration. It must be admitted that, due to the lack of funds for development cooperation projects in 2010, involvement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the field of development cooperation projects regarding migration has been limited.
