The above information was highlighted in the meeting between Vietnamese Minister of Public Security To Lam and Deputy Chief of the INP Commissioner General Agus Andrianto that took place in Ha Noi on May 20.
Minister To Lam said security cooperation between the two countries has been effectively implemented through agreements such as the agreement on extradition and the memorandum of understanding on strengthening anti-terrorism cooperation.
Both sides have continued to maintain cooperation within the frameworks of the ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crime (AMMTC), the ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Drug Matters (AMMD) and the ASEAN Chiefs of Police Conference (ASEANAPOL).
The two sides should continue to increase the exchange of high-ranking delegations and maintain the security dialogue at the deputy ministerial level between the MoPS and the INP on an annual rotation basis, he suggested.
He underlined the need to effectively implement the cooperation documents signed between the two countries to enhance the effectiveness of crime prevention and citizen protection, and promote negotiations for the signing of the memorandum of understanding on cooperation in preventing and combating human trafficking.
The two sides should strengthen cooperation, regularly exchange information, share experience and coordinate closely in transmitting high-level messages and promote specialized cooperation, said the minister.
He proposed both sides prevent any individual or organization from using the territory of one country to conduct activities that are harmful to the security and order of the other country.
For his part, Andrianto said INP, in particular, and Indonesian authorities, in general, expect to further promote and strengthen closer cooperation with the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security to deepen the Strategic Partnership between the two nations.
He hoped that the relationship between Viet Nam and Indonesia, in general, and between the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security and the INP will be further consolidated and developed, for peace, stability, prosperity of the two countries' people.
