In addition, the two sides also regularly exchanged information as well as effectively implemented cooperation documents signed by the two countries, such as the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on migration issues and the MoU on cooperation in preventing and combating trafficking in persons.

To further promote bilateral cooperation between the two agencies to a higher level, the two officials reached consensus on effectively implementing signed cooperation documents as well as maintaining delegation exchange at all level to share information and hands-on experience in preventing and combating human trafficking and illegal migration.

The two Ministers also agreed to organize training and capacity-building courses for law enforcement forces on  technology and foreign language in support of exit-and-entry management work, while closely cooperated in preventing and combating high-tech crimes, frauds, financial and banking crimes as well as money laundering.
