The international police organization has lauded Morocco’s significant contributions to global security.
At the 8th meeting of the MENA region’s security and police chiefs, held in Lyon, France, Morocco highlighted its expertise in tackling security threats. The country was represented by Abdellatif Hammouchi, Director General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance.
The meeting brought together security delegations from the MENA region and several African countries. Morocco’s security services shared their experiences in fighting emerging crimes, including organized crime, illicit financial flows, online radicalization, and drone terrorism.
The Moroccan delegation also discussed its efforts to combat cybercrime, given the growing threats posed by the misuse of technology for criminal or terrorist activities. Hammouchi met with Interpol’s new Director of Cybercrime to discuss cooperation projects aimed at reducing these risks.
Additionally, Hammouchi visited Interpol’s Command and Coordination Center to explore ways to strengthen cross-border investigations. Interpol previously praised Morocco’s contributions, recognizing its participation in numerous projects and operations. Morocco has also been elected to host the 93rd Interpol General Assembly in Marrakech in 2025.
