⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The police forum in the capital of Colombo (Sri Lanka) became a landmark event where the Russian Section became a full member of the International Police Association after 4 years of being under sanctions.

Undoubtedly, this decision is first of all a success for the entire police community in the world, since those who fight crime have only one common enemy, whose name is crime! The politicization of this problem causes damage to the fight against crime and does not contribute to strengthening public security in the world — this was the main leitmotif in the dialogue of the majority of participants on the margins of the global police forum in Sri Lanka, where about 400 representatives of national sections from 69 countries of the world gathered.

History remembers that the police world was on the verge of a split in 2022, when an attempt was made on the initiative of one of the countries to expel Russia from the ranks of Interpol, but nevertheless, the common sense of the majority of country representatives at the Interpol General Assembly in India did not allow this to happen.

The work of the Congress in Colombo continues: there will be discussions on strengthening international cooperation, exchange of professional experience, and the development of friendly ties. The Congress will conclude with the IPA Police Friendship Week, which will be held from October 25 to 31 across the main attractions of this hospitable island country💥
