Head of the National Police of Ukraine Serhiy Knyazev discussed this issue during a meeting with Chief of the Argentine Federal Police Nestor Roncaglia on November 20, the press service of the Interior Ministry of Ukraine reported.

"The parties discussed ways of cooperation to combat drug-related crime, in particular, the establishment of a prompt and effective channel for the information exchange," the report reads.

Following the meeting, Knyazev informed that Argentina had a regional Latin American center for police cooperation in Buenos Aires, and many police communities from Europe and North America joined the cooperation on the basis of this platform.

The head of the Ukrainian National Police also stressed that the chief of the Argentine Police offered to send a liaison officer to Ukraine.

"There is the problem of drug trafficking from Latin America. Today, communication with our Argentine counterparts takes place in two operational ways - through Interpol and through the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Therefore, such direct cooperation is faster and more efficient way to exchange information," Knyazev added.
