A legal cooperation agreement on criminal matters between Taiwan and Poland is soon to take effect, as it has been signed by Polish President Andrzej Duda, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said late on Sunday.
The agreement was unanimously approved by both houses of Poland’s parliament, before being sent to the country’s Presidential Palace, the ministry said in a news statement.
“MOFA sincerely welcomes the signing of the important bilateral agreement by Polish President Andrzej Duda on Jan. 28,” the ministry said.
The agreement covers five major areas: criminal matters, extradition, prisoner transfers, exchange of legal and practical insights, and sharing of information for crime prevention, it said.
