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.
