BEIJING: Cross-border investigations and the recovery of assets stolen through cyber scams are among Malaysia's key priorities in strengthening security cooperation with China, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said closer bilateral cooperation would help both countries tackle transnational crime while delivering practical benefits under their comprehensive strategic partnership, particularly in security and law enforcement.
"We face several challenges in dealing with cyber scams, as the victims are not limited to Chinese nationals.
"That is why I believe bilateral cooperation between our countries is crucial in addressing this problem," he told Malaysian media at a press conference here today.
