The two countries also agreed to jointly counteract technology that may "destabilise the internal political and socio-economic atmosphere", "disturb public order" or "interfere with the internal affairs of the state", the Wall Street Journal reports.

 

The latter co-operation comes from a deep mutual distrust of social media as a source of dissent, or worse, Arab Spring-style popular protests.

 

The deal (announced on Friday) will also involve information moves between law enforcement agencies, as well as a technology exchange regarding the protection of key infrastructures.
