The ministers in charge of security from the two countries are set to meet as soon as on Monday, the official sources were quoted as saying by the African News Agency (APA).
During the meeting, the minister will hold deliberations with a view to establishing strategies, a framework as well as both human and material resources which will be employed in the fight against the rising cases of organized crime on their common border.
