More than 60 Ministers attended the meeting, convened by INTERPOL and the United Nations to secure support from the international community for the role played by police peacekeepers in preserving peace worldwide.

For this reason, INTERPOL, the world’s largest global police organization, is creating a partnership with the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations. By combining their strengths, the two Organizations can create a powerful partnership and a wide-reaching network that will help restore peace and security.

To launch the partnership, a ministerial meeting will be held during INTERPOL’s 2009 General Assembly in Singapore from 11 to 15 October 2009. The one-day meeting will bring together decision-makers at the highest level from the United Nations and INTERPOL member countries and other international stakeholders.
