REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is scheduled to open the 85th Interpol general assembly in Nusa Dua, Bali, which will take place from November 7 to 10, 2016.
Two main speakers at the event are Tito Karnavian, National Police Chief General, and Susi Pudjiastuti, Marine and Fisheries Minister. Karnavian is scheduled to share his experiences related to the disclosures and steps to combat terrorism, while Susi will put forward numerous cases of illegal fishing in Indonesian waters and its impact on the environment.
The Interpol general assembly will be attended by 1,200 delegates from 154 member countries of Interpol, 10 Sub-bureau of Interpol, observers from international organizations, exhibitors and journalists from home and abroad. Three major themes that will be discussed in this session include terrorism, organized crimes and cyber crimes.
The Indonesian police, through their initiatives to combat terrorism in the country, has set an example for other countries. Conducted every year, the Interpol general assembly is a forum to discuss all major decisions affecting general policy, working methods, program activities and resources needed for international cooperation.
The decision that comes out of the implementation of the general assembly of Interpol can be used to improve services, specifically for law enforcement, to create international cooperation against international and transnational crimes.
National Police spokesman Inspector General Boy Rafli Amar expressed hope that Indonesia, which will host the Interpol general assembly, would do its part to contribute to world peace. In addition, he said that the event can also promote Indonesian tourism among the delegates of Interpol member countries.
