During the meeting, he praised Griffith for his efforts in combatting crime and making Trinidad and Tobago a safer place for all citizens, especially for Chinese nationals, according to a release from the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service.
He also expressed satisfaction with the levels of cooperation exhibited between the TTPS and China in areas of mutual interests, the release stated.
