Highlighting good results of cooperation between the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam and the Ministry of Home Affairs of Malaysia, Deputy Minister Nguyen Duy Ngoc stated, the cooperation between the Ministry of Public Security and the the Ministry of Home Affairs of Malaysia has still not commensurated with the potential and cooperation needs of the two sides due to a number of objective and subjective reasons.

The Vietnamese official also hoped that the two sides would gear up the negotiation process on an agreement on extradition, agreement on the transfer of sentenced persons and agreement on cooperation in combating human trafficking, thereby creating a favorable legal corridor for the two sides to join efforts in combating crime and solving problems related to citizens of the two countries.

Mr. Abdul Halim Abdul Rahman highly agreed with Deputy Minister Nguyen Duy Ngoc’s suggestions, saying that the Malaysian side commits to closely coordinate with Vietnam in information exchange as well as fighting crime, illegal migration and terrorism while supporting Vietnam to host or co-host regional meetings on specific crime on a rotating basis.
