(MENAFN- QNA) China has sent 49 police liaison officers to embassies and consulates in 27 countries to help track down fugitives and handle emergencies, said the Chinese Ministry of Public Security on Sunday.
Chinese Police liaison officers were first dispatched to Chinese Embassy in the United States in 1998 and have played an active role since then, said the ministry, adding 13 more officers will be sent to another four countries in 2015.
Apart from their traditional roles such as safeguarding national security and ensuring overseas Chinese safety, these officers fully participated in "Fox Hunt 2014," China's overseas campaign against corrupt officials and helped repatriate more than 200 fugitives, said the ministry.
Chinese Vice Minister Meng Hongwei said the ministry will further improve police liaison officers' work to boost international law enforcement cooperation.
