The FCDO is committed to supporting the international work of the National Crime Agency (NCA) both through ministerial engagement and the work conducted at diplomatic posts overseas to enhance cooperation with foreign law enforcement agencies.

As the UK Government lead for serious and organised crime and the NCA, the Home Secretary leads on international engagement of this kind. However, other UK Government Ministers also engage with international counterparts on the work of the NCA when appropriate, encouraging further cooperation to tackle shared threats and promote shared interests. It is clear from HMG's international engagement that the work of the NCA is highly valued across the world.
