Print Edition
CHINA hopes to work closely with countries and international organizations on global security, and jointly build universal security for humankind, Chinese President Xi Jinping said yesterday.
Xi was speaking at the opening of the 86th Interpol General Assembly in Beijing.
He spoke highly of Interpol’s important role in global law enforcement, security cooperation and combating crimes.
Since becoming a member state of Interpol in 1984, China has been committed to developing cooperation with Interpol and its other member states, and has contributed to maintaining world security and stability, Xi said.
In order to beef up global law enforcement and security cooperation, Xi proposed enhanced reform and innovation, sticking to the rule of law and mutual benefits.
“Countries should adopt a concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, and jointly respond to security challenges,” he said.
Xi asked that global security governance should be promoted in a more fair, reasonable and effective way.
“Countries and intergovernmental organizations should shoulder the main responsibilities of security governance, while non-governmental organizations, multinationals and civil society are encouraged to jointly work for it,” he said.
The Chinese president called on countries to adhere to the United Nations Charter and Interpol regulations, seriously fulfill conventions against transnational crimes and corruption, and improve relevant international regulations.
“Countries, while maintaining their own security, should take into account other countries’ security,” Xi said.
He asked that major countries offer more support for underdeveloped countries and regions in security and development.
“To provide people with a safe and sound living environment is our important target,” Xi said, adding that China has made remarkable progress in combating crimes of various kinds and in building crime prevention and control systems.
Fighting against terrorism
“More and more people believe China is one of the most secure countries in the world, which is an important contribution China has made to the world,” he said.
“China has actively participated in global law-enforcement cooperation and global security governance, resolutely supported the international fight against terrorism, joined global cooperation in combating cyber crimes, worked with other countries in fugitive repatriation, and in fighting telecom fraud and other crimes.”
Xi vowed stronger support for Interpol in the five years ahead to raise its global influence and leadership.
Meng Hongwei, who is Interpol’s president and China’s vice minister of public security, presided over the opening ceremony. Participants from 158 countries and regions gathered in the Chinese capital for the conference, which lasts until Friday.
Now headquartered in Lyon in France, Interpol is the world’s second largest international organization, after the United Nations, with 190 members.
