2024/09/12

Premier Cho Jung-tai anticipated that joint international work by prosecutors, officers and other personnel at investigation and anti-corruption facilities would effectively handle transnational crime.

Cho made the remarks during his attendance at the 2024 International Forum on Police Cooperation: Combating Transnational Fraud Sept. 10 in Taipei City. The three-day event, organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Interior, brought together over 200 attendees from 39 countries, the Executive Yuan reported.

Criminal organizations have become multinational and expanded as members utilize new technology to infringe citizens’ basic rights, Cho said. He added that no country is able to handle transnational crime independently and it has become key for countries to unite to safeguard their people.

Forum discussions focused on five main areas: technological law enforcement, law revision, enhancing intelligence sharing, public and private sector collaboration, and deepening international cooperation.

On the Taiwan side, MOFA minister, Lin Chia-lung and MOI Minister Liu Shyh-fang attended the opening. International attendees included Wade Carpenter, president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police executive board, Gustav Aitaro, minister of state for the Republic of Palau and Carlos Humberto Benítez González, police commander of the Paraguayan National Police.
