The Cook Islands has sought membership of the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) as a means of stepping up its international cooperation to combat financial crime.

The Prime Minister Dr. Terepai Maoate said the Cook Islands would continue its own efforts against money laundering and meet its international obligations in support of the APG.

The APG, which has its Secretariat in Sydney, is scheduled to hold its fourth annual meeting 22-24 May, in Kuala Lumpur. The Cook Islands will be represented at that meeting by Commissioner of Offshore Financial Services Mathilda Uhrle.
