They discussed issues of further development of bilateral relations between the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan and Interpol, as well as successful cooperation in countering new challenges from international terrorism, extremism and transnational crime.
Kazakhstan’s entry into Interpol and the creation of the National Central Bureau in the Ministry of Internal Affairs structure made it possible to interact with foreign colleagues from almost any state party to this Organization, including those countries with which there are no agreements on legal assistance in criminal matters.
