An international police conference, which was held on Sunday in Singapore, has urged the world force to share intelligence so that transnational problems can be tackled. It has also called for the use of updated technologies for ensuring the better handling of the crimes, including drug trafficking and terrorism.
Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik, while addressing the annual Interpol meeting, mentioned that terrorism, drug trafficking and money laundering had to be tackled at the earliest.
He also mentioned that Pakistan was also in the list of nations who are battling the Taliban and al Qaeda terrorists, who are experts in the above mentioned crimes. He also added that these need to be tackled at the earliest as a failure of the same can result in the entire world being infected.
"Terrorists have no boundaries, no religion," he said during the conference of the International Criminal Police Organisation, or Interpol, and the United Nations. "This is the time we have to sit together and put our heads together. The cooperation needs to be even more effective."
France-based Interpol Lyon, which has about 187 members from across the world, provides for cross-border police cooperation and concentrates more on tackling terrorism, drugs, arms as well as human crimes.
Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who inaugurated the four-day event, mentioned that even though globalisation has extended numerous benefits to all the nations, it has delivered enormous number of problems also.
