made a goodwill visit to the National Police Agency (NPA) on Monday, two days ahead of Taiwan’s Police Day, promising to share IACP’s related experience with the NPA, which has planned a series of anti-terrorism training programs in the run-up to the 2017 Summer Universiade in Taipei.
This is Cunningham’s first visit to Taiwan after he was elected IACP president in 2015. NPA Director-General Chen Kuo-en, on behalf of Taiwan, gave Cunningham a police souvenir badge and a copy of the Police of the Republic of China Magazine to express the country’s great appreciation of his visit.
Chen said that Taiwan has signed mutual agreements to cooperate in fighting against crime with the U.S., China, and countries in Southeast Asia, and has stationed police liaison officers in 10 foreign countries, including the U.S. and Japan, to strengthen trans-national cooperation in fighting crime.
The national police chief also said that he hoped Cunningham would continue to support Taiwan’s participation in international police cooperation and exchange. [FULL STORY]
