Palau and Taiwan has set out to strengthen mutual
cooperation and official exchanges in the area of law enforcement following of the police cooperation
agreement yesterday. In the agreement, consultation on law enforcement skills,
combating transnational crimes, personnel training, information sharing, and

The police cooperation agreement is the third agreement
signed between Palau and Taiwan this year.
In January 2017, the Agreement on a Working Holiday Program
was signed in Palau when Foreign Minister of Taiwan Dr. David Tawei Lee was
invited to attend the installation and Inauguration Ceremonies of the 10th
Constitutional Government of the Republic of Palau. Later in March, Minister of
State Billy G. Kuartei signed the Agreement concerning Co-operation in
Immigration Affairs
and Human Trafficking Preventlon.
"With
these three agreements being inked, Palau and Taiwan have broadened their
horizon of cooperation which manifests stronger and deeper relations between
the two countries," said a Ministry of Justice press release.
