Bangladesh, Singapore Discuss Cooperation To Prevent Cross-Border Cyber Scams

(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor) Dhaka: Bangladesh and Singapore have discussed strengthening cooperation in cybersecurity, scam prevention, and counter-terrorism, with a focus on building capacity to tackle emerging digital threats.

The issues were discussed during an introductory meeting between Singapore's Chargé d'Affaires (CDA) Philip Ong and Inspector General of Police Md. Ali Hossain Fakir on November 9, according to a social post from the Singapore High Commission in Dhaka.

The two sides also discussed capacity-building initiatives to help law enforcement agencies address emerging security risks and ensure a safer and more trusted digital environment.

Emphasizing the cross-border nature of cyber threats, the High Commission said such threats do not recognize national borders and that vulnerabilities in one part of the global digital system can have consequences far beyond it.

It also stressed that capacity-building in developing countries should not be viewed merely as assistance but as an investment in collective security.
