Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has said that the Government always backs
cooperation between the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) and Japan’s
National Public Safety Commission (NPSC), as a security link-up is an
important mainstay of bilateral strategic partnership between Vietnam
and Japan.
Meeting with Keiji Furuya, NPSC Chairman and State
Minister for Abduction Issues, in Hanoi on July 29, PM Dung suggested
the two sides further enhance the exchange of delegations whereby they
can work on concrete security cooperation, including personnel training
and experience sharing in professional skills.
The Japanese
official said his visit is to seek stronger links with the Vietnamese
police, especially in personnel training and sharing know-how regarding
the fight against social crimes, including human abduction.
He expressed his hope that the Government of Vietnam will help deepen
the far-reaching, practical and effective cooperation between the MPS
and NPSC.
At talks with Minister of Public Security General Tran
Dai Quang earlier the same day, the two sides agreed to work against
cyber crimes and terrorism in the new period together.
Notably,
the Vietnam-Japan deputy ministerial-level security dialogue will start
next year to discuss crime information and regional and global security
issues of mutual interest.
Minister Quang proposed that more
Japanese experts should be sent to Vietnam’s training facilities to
lecture on anti-crime fields in which Japan has strength. He also
suggested the Japanese side back Vietnam’s initiatives at regional and
global forums.
Receiving the Japanese guest the same day,
Politburo member and Standing member of the Secretariat of the Communist
Party of Vietnam Le Hong Anh urged the two sides to actively gear up
for the security dialogue next year.
Furuya informed the Vietnamese official of working orientations between the MPS and NPSC in the coming time.
He promised that in any position, he will do all he can to develop the
bilateral strategic partnership, and links between the two nations’
security agencies in particular.-VNA
