The 2026 International Forum on Police Cooperation: Combating Transnational Crime is being staged June 23-24 in Taipei City, highlighting government commitment to strengthening the global law enforcement network.
The event was organized by the Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Financial Supervisory Commission and Ocean Affairs Council’s Coast Guard Administration and was hosted by the MOI’s National Police Agency. Police chiefs, relevant high-level officials, law enforcement experts and representatives of the diplomatic corps in Taiwan from over 40 countries took part in the event.
According to the MOI, the forum included keynote speeches and four seminars. The issues discussed spanned drug crime; gangs and organized crime; illegal cash flows and money laundering; and telecommunications fraud and human trafficking.
Premier Cho Jung-tai said during his opening remarks that transnational crime is a major security challenge faced by all countries. The government is shifting from case-by-case investigations to holistic governance while strengthening cross-border law enforcement cooperation through technology and information exchanges, he added.
The premier cited a fraud-combating data website launched in 2024, adding that by using big data analysis to help the public identify and prevent fraud, the website has reduced fraud cases nationwide by 20 percent and financial losses by 46 percent.
No country can fight alone, Cho said, vowing that Taiwan will continue to share its experience in technological investigation, digital forensics and cross-border crime tracing to forge a safer international community.
David Rausch, president of the U.S.-based International Association of Chiefs of Police, praised the NPA’s long-standing work to promote international police innovation and cooperation, participation in the global law enforcement network and contributions to international security. He emphasized that only when global partners establish mutual trust and share intelligence and experience can they enhance the resilience of law enforcement and jointly tackle transnational crime.
Raymond Greene, director of the American Institute in Taiwan, pledged that the U.S. will continue to support Taiwan’s collaboration with global law enforcement organizations to jointly safeguard a free, open, secure and stable international order. (YCH-E)
