Overview of the meeting.

To enhance the effectiveness of cooperation between the two police forces amidst the increasingly complicated development of transnational crimes in each country and in the world, Deputy Minister Le Van Tuyen and Fedpol’s Vice Director Simon Spoerri agreed that the two sides need to further strengthen collaboration in specific areas of mutual interest in the coming time.

Additionally, the two sides agreed to regularly exchange hands-on experiences in law enforcement, share criminal information and jointly investigate criminal cases involving the two countries’ citizens, as well as track and arrest fugitives wanted by each country.
