PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A delegation of attorneys general from across the U.S. led by South Dakota’s top prosecutor recently traveled to Taiwan to discuss various criminal justice issues.

South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley is the president of the National Association of Attorneys General. He says the U.S. and Taiwan face similar challenges in protecting “communities from the same addictions and violent crimes such as human trafficking.”

The delegation visited Taiwan Oct. 12-17. The topics that the American prosecutors discussed with Taiwanese officials included addiction, human trafficking and the economic partnerships between the U.S. and the island in east Asia.

The delegation included the attorneys general of Florida, New Hampshire, Montana and Georgia.

Jackley’s office says the trip takes place every two years and is paid for by the Taiwanese government.
