Ahn Seong-Doo, Ambassador of South Korea to Bangladesh, announced that Korean Police will sign a MOU with Bangladesh Police this year to strengthen its partnership. In recent times, cybercrime has proven to be a fast growing area of crime with the rise of internet usage in Bangladesh. As a result, ensuring cyber-security is one of the major concerns for the government however, tackling the matter remains a challenge, said a press release.
In this backdrop, KOICA has been supporting Bangladesh Police through its fellowship programs to develop capacity building plan for cybercrime investigation based on the understanding of Korean police activities.
