Malaysia has called on global leaders to further enhance coordination mechanisms among nations to fight transnational crime more effectively. In his keynote address on Monday at the Global Public Security Cooperation Forum Lianyungang (GPSCFL) 2024, in Lianyungang City in China's Jiangsu Province, the Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said that a strong coordination mechanism between nations which involves fostering closer cooperation between government agencies, law enforcement, community organizations, and private sector partners is crucial in fighting such crimes, according to (Bernama) news agency. Ahmad Zahid added that these crimes are often perpetrated by international syndicates, not isolated local organizations, thus an effective coordination would allow all countries to address security threats more efficiently and precisely. "Addressing transnational crime requires more than national efforts...it demands strong international collaboration. Law enforcement agencies, governmen ts, and international organizations must share intelligence, reinforce legal frameworks, and build capacity to effectively tackle these cross- border threats," he said. "Our response must be swift, coordinated, united and we cannot afford to work in isolation. We need to invest in cutting-edge technologies, enhance cross-border information sharing, and build strong partnerships to counter these criminal networks," he added. Source: Qatar News Agency
