Attorney-General Robert McClelland and Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior His Excellency Sar Kheng have signed a Joint Declaration recognising the close cooperation between legal and law enforcement agencies in Cambodia and Australia.
The Declaration reaffirms a joint commitment to work together to combat transnational crime in all its forms, including people smuggling, people trafficking, sexual exploitation, money laundering, narcotics and environmental crime.
"The Australian Government values greatly the close collaboration between our two countries, particularly in strengthening domestic legal frameworks and taking joint action against transnational crime," Mr McClelland said.
The Australian Attorney-General's Department is already working in partnership with Cambodia's Ministry of Justice to develop laws to criminalise people smuggling and protect victims of trafficking.
Australia is also supporting the Ministry of Interior in its efforts to reform and restructure the Cambodian National Police.
This work builds upon the successful collaboration between the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney-General's Department to develop and implement Cambodia's Law on Counter-Terrorism.
Australian Federal Police Commissioner Tony Negus and Commissioner General of the Cambodian National Police His Excellency Neth Savoeun (pictured) have also signed an Exchange of Letters extending the Cambodia-Australia Joint Transnational Crime Team.
The Joint Transnational Crime Team was established to support efforts by the Cambodian National Police to combat transnational crime, and enable joint investigations into criminal activities of mutual interest, including narcotics trafficking and child sex tourism.
