At the talks, the two sides agreed to continue coordination under the inked deal and to increase exchange of information about national security, social order and safety, immigration and border crimes.
They will join hands in managing border gates and simplify administrative procedures to facilitate border trade and people’s travelling.
They will also focus on preventing extremely dangerous crimes such as terrorism and weapon and explosive trafficking.
Since their talks in June last year, the two sides have succeeded in dealing with issues and happenings in border areas of both countries, contributing to maintaining stability, security and order along the shared borderline.
