Russia and China to cooperate in law enforcement

Russian Interior Ministry and Chinese Public Ministry signed a Protocol on Law Enforcement Cooperation for 2017-2018.

According to the Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev, the practice of signing two-year cooperation protocols is a significant aspect of bilateral interaction. 

"The 2017-2018 protocol on cooperation between the Russian Interior Ministry and the Chinese Public Security Ministry will be an important addition to the inter-agency legislative framework," Kilokoltsev noted.

The Russian interior minister is currently on a visit to China. He has already visited the Chinese Public Security Ministry’s center for counter-narcotics propaganda. He is also scheduled to pay a visit to the tourist police office in the city of Sanya (the Hainan Province).

The Russian Interior Minister proposed the Chinese Public Minister Guo Shengkun to hold the next meeting of the Russian-Chinese working group on the border cooperation in law enforcement in the second half of 2017 in Russia.
