Nusa Dua (Antara Bali)- Indonesia`s Police Chief General
Tito Karnavian has said that the 85th General Assembly of International
Police (Interpol) would discuss the efforts to strengthen cooperation
among police institutions throughout the world in the fight against
global security threats.
"We will talk about the goals to strengthen the foundation in
response to global threats which are now increasing and more complex,"
Karnavian said in his opening remarks during the Interpol General
Assembly at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC) here on Monday.
The global threats include terrorism. At least 1,000 people have joined ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
International cooperation in legal enforcement and prevention is needed to deal with ISIS, he said.
Efforts to counter radicalism need regional as well as international cooperation, including diplomacy, he added.
In addition to terrorism, the meeting would also discuss
transnational crimes such as money laundering, drug trafficking and
corruption.
These serious crimes need international cooperation involving governments as well as NGOs, the general noted.
President of Interpol Mireille Ballestrazzi said the General
Assembly was expected to develop a road map for global police to deal
with security threats such as terrorism.
"We need to have a collective collaboration and cooperation to implement the 2020 Interpol initiatives," Ballestrazzi said.
Indonesian Vice President M Jusuf Kalla officially opened the
Interpol General Assembly, which will be held from November 7 to 10,
2016.
Some 1,000 participants from 164 countries would attend the annual meeting. (WDY)
