Zhou said that China's Ministry of Public Security and Turkish Interior Ministry have witnessed steady and effective cooperation, appreciating Turkey's position of not allowing any separatist activities against China.

China hopes that Turkish police forces will continue to take measures to contain the secessionist activities against China and better protect the life and property of Chinese citizens in Turkey, Zhou said.
