PHNOM PENH, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia and Malaysia will sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for anti-human trafficking cooperation, a Cambodian governmental official said here on Tuesday.
"We are preparing the draft MoU for anti-human trafficking cooperation between the Cambodian an Malaysian governments and it will be inked soon," Ith Rady, secretary of state for the Justice Ministry, said at a seminar on investigation skills against human-trafficking crime.
The issue of human trafficking is one of the primary concerns of the country and the Cambodian government has the goodwill to combat human-trafficking crime in conjunction with other countries, he said.
The criminals have adopted many new ways to transport and exploit the victims and human-trafficking acts have seriously affected the social order and human dignity, he said.
"It is a serious crime and also a border-crossing crime," he added.
Cambodia already inked MoUs for anti-human trafficking cooperation with two regional countries, Vietnam and Thailand.
Meanwhile, the Cambodian government established a working group to cope with the crime, which is headed by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sar Kheng.

Thailand would be the country of urgent need. Will Thailand be willing to sign the pact?
