India, China to set up JWGs on fake notes, sharing terror info

NEW DELHI: India and China will soon set up two joint working groups to deal with the Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) and a round-the-clock hotline to exchange information related to terror and organised crimes.

The issues were discussed threadbare by a Chinese delegation led by Vice-Minister of Public Security Fu Zhenghua and an Indian delegation led by Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi here.

“Both sides discussed the setting up of two Joint Working Groups to deal with the FICN and the setting up of a 24×7 hotline to exchange information. They also discussed issues relating to e-Visa, telecom fraud and security matters,” a Home Ministry statement said.

India and China are also likely to conclude negotiations and ink an agreement on security cooperation by March next year. The proposed pact will ensure cooperation on tackling transnational crimes and cyber crime. (AGENCIES)
