Paris (VNA) – The Interpol General Secretariat has appreciated the cooperation of Vietnam’s Public Security Ministry in information exchange in the fight against trans-border, drug and cyber crimes, said Interpol Secretary General Jurgen Stock.
He made the statement at a working session with Public Security Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Thanh in Lyon, France, on December 16. This was the first visit made by a Vietnamese public security senior officer to Interpol General Secretariat headquarters since the country joined the organisation in 1991.
At the meeting, Stock hailed the ministry for sending officials to work at his agency’s main office and recommended it assigning officers to the Interpol’s Global Complex for Innovation in Singapore and the Liaison Office for Asia and the South Pacific in Bangkok, Thailand.
For his part, Thanh lauded Stock’s initiatives on restructuring the General Secretariat and positive outcomes of collaboration in combating crime on the global scale.
He said the presence of Interpol across the world, particularly its three coordination agencies in Lyon, Singapore and Buenos Aires, has served urgent requests of state members in dealing with legal differences among them.
