WAM

As new and emerging crimes pose challenges to law enforcement agencies worldwide, it's imperative that countries stand united in the fight to tackle them.

That's according to Lt. General Bobojonov Pulat Razzakovich, Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan, who highlighted that "no state can fight these types of crimes independently".

Establishing continuous cooperation and exchanging experience in detection and prevention of such crimes, especially cybercrimes, will benefit each and every country, the minister said during an exclusive interview with national news agency WAM.

Lt. General Razzakovich highlighted how working with the UAE on combatting such crimes have been "developing rapidly", especially based on the bilateral agreements signed during Uzbekistan's President to the UAE in 2019.

"The talks held during our visit have shown that we still have a number of promising areas ahead of us, and we have agreed with our UAE counterparts to establish regular dialogue and further develop cooperation in this area," he added.

The Uzbek minister met with Lt. General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, and other senior officials during his visit to Abu Dhabi last week.

Lt. General Razzakovich led a delegation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan to the 15th edition of the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX 2021), held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC).
