BEIJING, Sept 9 (Hina) - The 19th international advanced training course for police forces held in Beijing, at which a Croatian delegation also took part, ended on Tuesday. The Croatian delegation included the Interior Minister's chief-of-staff, Zdravko Zidovec, and the head of the Interior Ministry's foreign affairs office, Josip Besic. The course, attended by more than 300 high police officials and scientific experts from 70 countries, focused on the organization of police forces in fighting various aspects of organized crime. During its stay in China, the Croatian delegation held many bilateral meetings, with representatives of Asian countries in particular. A police cooperation was thus agreed with Malaysia, in line with the country's current relations with Croatia. The Croatian delegation also held talks with partners in Beijing and Shanghai, which focused on the compliance with certain provisions from an existing agreement on cooperation between the Croatian Interior Ministry and the Chinese Public Security Ministry.
