Topics discussed include the circumstances of various repurchases of artifacts; the creation of the Red List of Afghanistan Antiquities at Risk; working with the Customs Administration; the benefits of joining INTERPOL in 2003, and repatriations made with their and British officials assistance; and the Afghan Museum in Exile.
