Inspector General of Police, Bangladesh AKM Shahidul Haq and Commissioner of Federal Police, Australia Andrew Colvin signed a Memorandum of Understanding [MoU] in Australia on Friday with a view to resisting inter-country organised crimes.
The two countries signed the MoU titled “inter-country crime resist” on the last day of three-day International Counter-Improvise Explosive Device [IED] Leaders’ Forum held in Canberra, capital of Australia from 2-4 September.
According to a press release signed by Additional IGP [M & PR] of Bangladesh Md Nazrul Islam, the Bangladesh Police and Australian Police would work together against organized crimes, including illegal drugs, terrorism, cyber crime, money laundering, illegal arms smuggling, piracy, human trafficking and movement of pirate in the sea in line with the MoU.
“This MoU will increase technical capability of police of brother countries.
Besides, it will help create a positive impact on intelligence exchange and coordination. Moreover, it will help resisting inter-country crimes and terrorism in this region,” IGP AKM Shahidul Haq said in a message after signing MoU.
The IGP said, “The MoU has also unveiled a new horizon of cooperation between the Bangladesh and Australia police. I hope, apart from training facilities, technical and forensic capability of two forces will increase in future.”
The focus of the International Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Leaders’ Forum was to bridge the information gap between the law enforcement and military communities of member countries, to develop a platform to enable ongoing cooperation between counter-IED and counter-terrorism leaders and regional networks to support information sharing.
In the face of the growing international threat presented by IEDs, INTERPOL, the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Department of Defence hosted the inaugural Forum to gather key representatives from government, law enforcement and military services and promote strategic cooperation between them.
Terrorists use IEDs indiscriminately to kill and injure thousands of people every year. The specialized knowledge required to manufacture explosives and IEDs is held by comparatively small groups of criminals and terrorists. However, many of these individuals proliferate the use of IEDs across borders, making an international response essential.
