They vowed to enhance all-level delegation exchanges to share information and experiences in combating various types of crime as well as work closely in specialized investigations, verification, and the capture of wanted individuals.

Both sides pledged to enhance cooperation in professional training to enhance the capacity of law enforcement officials, particularly in the areas of drug crime prevention, high-tech crime, terrorism, forensic technical expertise, and immigration control.

Both sides will regularly consult and support each other at multilateral cooperation forums in the field of law enforcement and promote comprehensive cooperation to elevate the relationship between the two countries to a new level and work towards the future./.
