PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia and China will sign a memorandum of understanding early next month to fight human trafficking and to cooperate on security issues.
The MoU is part of Malaysia’s attempt to deal directly with countries of origin, transit and destination for human trafficking, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said.
He had discussions with Chinese officials in Beijing last week as a follow-up to earlier discussions with officials in Bangladesh and Indonesia, the mi
nister said after meeting Chinese ambassador to Malaysia Chai Le here yesterday.
Hishammuddin said bilateral relations between Malaysia and China were at an all-time high while Chai said the MoU will ensure continued peace and stability in both countries and people of the region.
On the swapping of refugees between Malaysia and Australia, Hishammuddin said it has to be deferred because of a pending court case in Australia.
