Iran, Vietnam deepen ties with police cooperation agreement
TEHRAN - Iran's Police Chief, Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Radan, and Vietnam's Minister of Public Security, General Tô Lâm, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen bilateral police cooperation.
During the signing ceremony held in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi, General Tô Lâm emphasized the importance of fostering relations between the two nations, particularly in the sphere of law enforcement. He highlighted the friendship and mutual respect that serve as the foundation for expanded collaboration.
The agreement aims to enhance law enforcement cooperation in combating organized crime, terrorism, cybercrime, drug trafficking, human trafficking, money laundering, arms trafficking, document forgery, and illegal immigration. It also focuses on the exchange of information.
As part of his visit, General Radan will tour the National Training Centre on Terrorism Prevention, the National Centre for Population Database, and the Department of Cyber Security and Hi-tech Crime Prevention. The visit is believed to showcase Iran’s commitment to collaborative efforts in addressing transnational threats.
Iran and Vietnam have been on the path to deepen ties and expand cooperation in different fields in the past two years. In August of 2023, the two nations inked their first legislative agreement, which aimed to boost comprehensive cooperation with a focus on economy and diplomacy. The two countries are also poised to sign preferential and clearing trade agreements in near future.
