Denpasar
(Antara Bali)- Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika has expressed his optimism
that the 85th General Assembly of the International Police (Interpol)
will be good for promotion of Bali tourism.
"It will have a major impact and is very good for Bali tourism. Just imagine, some 2,000 delegates from 190 countries will be present," Pastika said when hosting a dinner for Interpol officials here, Saturday evening.
President of Interpol Mireille Ballestrazzi of France expressed his gratitude to the Bali Governor and the Indonesian Police for the hospitality.
He said the General Assembly will discuss issues on terrorism, and transnational crimes such as drug trafficking, cyber crimes, and illegal fishing activities.
He hoped that the meeting would yield policies that could contribute to international security and world peace.
Earlier, Governor Pastika had expressed hope that the assembly will help promote the island`s tourist resorts widely.
He remarked that Bali is lucky to host the Interpol General Assembly, which will be held for the first time in Indonesia. Therefore, he called on the Balinese to show their hospitality and help maintain security.
The general assembly will take place at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC), Badung District, on November 7-10, 2016.
The annual Interpol General Assembly is believed to be the second-largest international gathering, after the annual UN General Assembly in New York. (WDY)
