The Minister of Internal Affairs, Cătălin Predoiu, requested the support of the FBI to support the reform process within the “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” Police Academy, in order to “strengthen the institutional capacity of this educational institution”.
Predoiu met, on Tuesday, with the director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, who paid a visit to Romania, according to a press release sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs also conveyed that it pays special attention to the destruction of criminal networks which, through their actions carried out including on the territory of Romania, endanger the safety of citizens.
Director Christopher Wray visited Romania this week and met with Romanian officials to demonstrate the FBI’s continued commitment to our strong partnerships and highlight ongoing cooperative efforts, says the FBI National Press Office in a press release sent by the US Embassy in Bucharest.
“The FBI works with its Romanian partners to combat the dynamic threat landscape both countries face today. Director Wray met with multiple senior officials from the Romanian government, including the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI), the Romanian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MOIA), the Romanian Ministry of Justice (MOJ), and the Romanian Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO).
The meetings focused on the robust partnerships between the agencies and joint efforts to counter threats emanating from hostile nations, transnational organized crime, human trafficking, criminal and hostile nation state cyber activity, and malign foreign influence.
Director Wray thanked Romanian officials for their partnership, and the leaders discussed additional opportunities for further collaboration to combat criminal and national security threats facing Americans and Romanians,” says the Bureau.
