Moreover, the sides tackled the priority issues and promising areas for further cooperation concerning the fight against crime.

According to the Head of the National Police of Ukraine Serhii Knyazev cooperation between law enforcement agencies of Ukraine and Great Britain should be operational and effective.

"We are open and ready for collaboration," Serhii Knyazev asserted and added the National Police is keen on discussing the issues pertaining to the cooperation.

In turn, liaison officer of the National Crime Agency Patrick Torkington emphasized that among the central issues which are of great interest for Great Britain are offences of law falling under the category of organized crime.
