Cooperation grows in crime fight

China will strengthen its intelligence sharing and cooperation in joint investigations with the United States to fight rampant transnational crimes, a senior official from the Ministry of Public Security said.

The two countries will enhance information exchanges and carry out joint investigations and actions to smash cross-border criminal gangs, said Zhu Yuxiang, deputy director at the ministry's International Cooperation Department.

In addition, they will set up a joint working team for some major or individual cases, including terrorism activities, cybercrime or illegal immigration and focus on personnel training to improve their capabilities, he said.
