PUTRAJAYA - MALAYSIA and Turkey have agreed to cooperate in police training which will also see Turkish police personnel attending the Malaysian Academy on Trans-national Organized Crime (Matoc) in Langkawi, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
Datuk Hishammuddin said the exchanges would help build stronger relations between the police forces of both countries.
He said he had met with his Turkish counterpart Besir Atalay when he accompanied Prime Minis-ter Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on an official visit to the country, and they both agreed there was a need to strengthen cooperation and commitment in combating cross-border crimes.
'To follow up on my discussions (with Besir), I have asked the Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar to visit Turkey on April 10 to attend the 178th Turkish Police Day celebrations as well as hold further talks,' he said.
He added that Malaysian police personnel would be sent to Turkey, ahead of the IGP's arrival, to look into the details of the cooperation. -- THE STAR/ANN
