Cambodia and Thailand Police Forces Unite Against Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing

The Cambodian and Thailand National Police officers partner to bolster their strength against money laundering and terrorist financing by enhancing their cooperation during transaction crimes. 

The National Police of Cambodia and Thailand united to strengthen their commitment to combat transactional crime and enhance their cooperation against Anti-Money laundering (AML) sanctions violations. The joint efforts aim to build solid relations between the two countries and foster peace. Cambodian National Police chief, Sar Thet, met with Thailand’s deputy National Police chief, Surachate Hakparn, on September 4th. The aim of the meeting was to enhance the relationship between both countries. Hakparn said, “We expressed a desire to strengthen our joint efforts in combating cross-border crimes.” Thet expressed his gratitude for the visit and praised the attitude of cooperation shown by the Cambodia police community. He emphasised the decision to work more closely together to combat illicit activities.

The director of the Cambodian human rights NGO, Am Sam Ath, raised his voice against crime-related challenges, including drug offences, human trafficking, and money laundering. Ath also underscored the value of international cooperation, particularly amongst states surrounding the Kingdom, to address these concerns successfully. Ath stated, “Strengthening the implementation of laws, particularly the safe village-commune policy, is essential to addressing these topics. Enhanced partnership with relevant stakeholders is crucial.” 

Cambodian Prime Minister, Hun Manet, also endorsed the collaboration between the two countries in combating transborder violations. At the 43rd ASEAN Summit, which took place in Indonesia on September 4th, Manet urged for developed and increased consistency in counter-terrorist financing (CFT) efforts and tackling illegal cross-jurisdictional activity.
