The United Arab Emirates, represented by the Ministry of Interior, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the European Union Agency, represented by Europol, regarding the establishment of a secure communication line between the two sides.
This comes within the framework of the strong relations and strategic partnership between them, particularly in the areas of security and combating transnational organised crime.
The MoU aims to establish a secure technical infrastructure for the exchange of security and police information, enhancing the ability of both parties to combat this type of organised crime.
