China, Iran sign policing pledge during Iranian police chief’s Beijing visit
- Security Minister Wang Xiaohong and Ahmad Reza Radan sign MOU on law enforcement cooperation
- Radan also toured the security ministry’s technology centre, a detail omitted from Chinese state media reports
Neither China’s state news agency Xinhua nor its Iranian counterpart IRNA released the content of the memorandum, which follows a similar public security MOU signed by Tehran and Moscow last year.
According to IRNA, the Iran-Russia MOU calls for “the expansion of security and law enforcement cooperation between the two sides and the exchange of experiences in dealing with factors that foment insecurity”.
In his meeting with Wang, Radan expressed Iran’s willingness to further cooperation on potential technology for use by the two countries’ police forces, IRNA said.
The first day of Radan’s visit to China included a tour of the public security ministry’s technology centre, where he was informed of “the latest scientific, technical and technological developments” aligned with police missions in China, IRNA said.
