LONDON — Jordan has pledged to enhance police cooperation with the international community.

The Hashemite kingdom’s interior minister said Jordan required international support amid the settlement of more than 600,000 refugees from neighboring Syria.

Officials said Jordan has agreed to improve cooperation with Interpol in the area of law enforcement. They said Jordan would focus on counter-insurgency, environmental crime and anti-corruption activities.

“Jordan remains committed to working with Interpol and law enforcement
worldwide to enhance information sharing to combat all forms of transnational organized crime,” Jordanian Interior Minister Hussein Majali said.

“It is only through international collaboration that we can ensure the security of citizens in Jordan, the Middle East and the world,” Majali said.

Jordan has been deemed a leading partner of Interpol, including that of its Middle East CI program, called Al Qabdah. Amman has agreed to join a secure global police communications system funded by the European Union.

“The minister was also updated on the Interpol Global Complex for Innovation in Singapore and the support it will offer member countries in the fight against cybercrime, and toured the 24-hour Command and
Coordination Center,” Interpol said.

During a visit to Interpol headquarters in Lyon, France on Feb. 5,
Majali was briefed on Interpol programs for training and police cooperation.
