MANILA – The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Friday said it is strengthening its partnership with South Korea to accelerate the modernization of the police force and enhance public safety across the country.

This was after acting PNP chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. welcomed Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) vice president Lee Yun-Young during his courtesy visit at Camp Crame, Quezon City on Dec. 3.

KOICA is the South Korean government's central agency for providing grant aid and technical cooperation to developing countries.

“Our meeting focused on the continuation and strengthening of the PNP–KOICA partnership. We discussed current capacity-building programs, potential new areas of cooperation, and technology-driven initiatives that can enhance our policing capabilities. KOICA also reaffirmed its commitment to support our ongoing reforms under the ‘Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas’ initiative,” Nartatez said.
