According to a press release from the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), this ”Memorandum of Understanding” will aim to strengthen bilateral cooperation between Algeria and Great Britain relating to the security of the two countries and to develop the skills of executives and technicians of the Algerian police in the field of advanced analysis of electronic fingerprints. Still and according to the press release from the general management of the DGSN, the signing of this document of understanding took place on the occasion of the recent working visit carried out by the Director General of National Security, Mr. Ali Badaoui, to the United Kingdom, at the head of a police delegation made up of executives from the DGSN, as part of the “strengthening of bilateral cooperation mechanisms in the police field”.
