The Korean National Police Agency said on Oct. 19 that Acting Commissioner Yoo Jae-seong will hold a bilateral meeting on Oct. 20 with the Cambodian National Police Vice Administrator to discuss cooperation between the two countries' police on fraud crimes.
The meeting is scheduled to take place at 2 p.m. on Oct. 20 in the second conference room of the Korean National Police Agency in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. Key agenda items will include conveying concerns about scam (fraud) crimes, ways to strengthen cooperation between the two countries' police, and the establishment of a Korean Desk. The Korean National Police Agency said, "Filming inside the venue and close-range questions to the foreign delegation are restricted."
The Korean Desk is a liaison window for Korean police set up within police agencies in major countries overseas, responsible for supporting investigations into incidents and accidents involving Koreans, protecting Korean residents abroad, repatriating criminals, and conducting international joint investigations.
Acting Commissioner Yoo Jae-seong said, "Crimes targeting Koreans in Southeast Asia, including Cambodia, are becoming more serious by the day," adding, "We will strengthen international coordination and cooperation so that the public can live with peace of mind locally."
Meanwhile, the Korean National Police Agency said that on Oct. 19, officials from national investigative agencies who will take part in a Korea-Cambodia joint autopsy in connection with the case of a Korean college student, a person surnamed Park (22), who was killed recently in Cambodia, departed the country. The autopsy is scheduled to take place locally on Oct. 20.
