FBI Director visits Vietnam

30/01/2008

VietNamNet Bridge - Director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Robert S. Mueller III arrived in Hanoi today to meet with senior Vietnamese law enforcement officials to discuss various aspects of bilateral cooperation.

Along with China and Cambodia, Vietnam is part of a regional visit paid by the FBI chief.

Talking with the Ministry of Public Security’s senior officials, Director Mueller thanked the Vietnamese Government for its cooperation on law enforcement issues, and highlighted FBI’s commitment to strengthening Viet Nam-US ties, and to further enhancing cooperation in many other areas in the era of increasing transnational crimes.

“No one person, no one agency, no one police department, and no one country has all the answers,” said Director Mueller. “This is why our relationship with our Vietnamese partners is such an important one. I look forward to continuing our cooperation in combating crime in its many forms.”

On January 31, the FBI director will preside over a ceremony to open a new US Legal Attaché Office in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This new office - the 60th Legal Attaché Bureau around the world - will oversee both Cambodia and Viet Nam.
