Jakarta Indonesia and New Zealand have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to prevent and eradicate transnational crimes as well as to bolster the capacity of police personnel in both nations.

The inking of the pact was done in the online and offline (hybrid) format at the National Police Headquarters, South Jakarta, on Monday.

“Today, we are meeting for this signing to prevent and eliminate transnational crimes and enhance (the police) capacity,” National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo remarked in his welcome.

Prabowo explained that the bilateral cooperation was forged in response to fluctuating developments in the strategic environment that had shaken stability and security.

He pointed to the trend of some modes of crimes that kept surfacing and developing along with technological developments.

He deemed the cooperation between both nations as crucial since crimes had breached the borders between countries.
