Accra, July 14, GNA- Mr Annan Cato, Ghana's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, last week initialled a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ghanaian and British Police to promote collaboration between the two security agencies to combat organized crime. In a short remark, Mr Cato said: "No country is an island of its own, therefore co-operation of this sort is of permanent interest to both Ghana and the UK."
A statement from the Ghana High Commission in London quoted Mr Cato as saying Ghana had had its share of organized crime in a sub-region bedevilled by instability and therefore would welcome any assistance from friendly nations to help combat it.
Mr Cato requested "walkie talkies" for the Ghana Police. The statement said Mr John Yates, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, signed on behalf of the British Police. The Memorandum is subject to review in 12 months. 14 July 08
