On September 18, the Sub-Forum on Combating Transnational Crime of the Global Public Safety Cooperation Forum was held in Lianyungang, Jiangsu. About 100 participants including police chiefs from 30 countries and regions, representatives of international organizations, and experts attended the meeting. The head of China's Ministry of Public Security introduced the achievements of international anti-fraud cooperation in recent years and proposed the initiative to build an "International Anti-Fraud Alliance." According to the data released at the meeting, Chinese police have cooperated with Spain, the UAE, and other 8 countries in law enforcement, and through joint operations, successfully apprehended 68,000 suspects involved in overseas telecommunication network fraud. These actions have effectively curbed the arrogance of transnational criminal gangs and protected the property safety of people in various countries.
The meeting pointed out that telecommunication network fraud has become a major challenge affecting global public safety, requiring joint efforts from all countries. China proposed four cooperation suggestions at the meeting: promoting the deep integration of anti-fraud concepts, strengthening intelligence exchange and sharing, deepening law enforcement cooperation, and improving the coordinated prevention system. Participants had in-depth discussions on the global trends of telecommunication fraud and prevention strategies.
The sub-forum eventually passed the "Initiative for Jointly Combating and Governing Telecommunication Network Fraud Crimes," forming a basic consensus on global anti-fraud cooperation. This achievement marks an important step by the international community in combating telecommunication network fraud crimes and lays the foundation for establishing a more effective global prevention system.
As an important part of the Global Public Safety Cooperation Forum, this meeting demonstrated China's efforts in promoting a new pattern of collaborative and universally participative governance of global telecommunication network fraud. Experts at the meeting believe that this multilateral cooperation model provides a useful reference for global public safety governance and will have a positive impact on future international law enforcement cooperation.
