Luanda – An Angolan delegation, headed by the Interior Minister, Eugénio César Laborinho, is participating in the 89th Session of the General Assembly of the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol), running from 23 to 25 of this month in Istanbul, Turkey.
According to a note received by ANGOP on Monday, Angola is participating in the meeting as a member state of the organisation.
On the sidelines of the event, the Angolan Government will hold working meetings with several delegations, in order to address matters of common interest, inherent to the reinforcement of cooperation in matters of security and public order.
Interpol is one of the largest international institutions geared towards reciprocal assistance in preventing and fighting crime, through the exchange of information, technical resources and promotion of police operations.
Angola was admitted to the organization in 1982, during the 51st session of Interpol’s General Assembly, held in October, in Torremolinos, Spain.
