PM Phuc noted that the two countries have enjoyed sound traditional relations and Vietnam wishes to boost the ties across sectors.

He lauded the cooperation between Mozambique’s Interior Ministry and the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security in personnel training and cooperation in preventing and combating hi-tech and drug crimes and wildlife traffickers.

He said the cooperative fields are practical and suggested both sides to work out solutions to execute agreements reached in the fields efficiently in the coming time.

The guest said his ministry officials exchanged valuable experience in safeguarding security and fighting crimes with officials from the Ministry of Public Security.

The ministries agreed to cooperate in judicial assistance in criminal cases, combat crimes, share experience in protecting national security protection, and tackle traffic violations, among others, he said.
