Head of National Police, Abdellatif Hammouchi, masterfully delivered a persuasive Arabic address in Vienna, effectively defending and securing Morocco’s hosting rights for the 93rd General Assembly of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) in 2025.
Hammouchi’s address received overwhelming approval, showcasing Morocco’s strong candidacy as well as the exceptional reputation of its security and intelligence services.
The candidacy withdrawal by numerous countries lent Morocco vast support, and cemented its bid in this historic election as a host country.
A six-minute video was screened ahead of the election, emphasizing Morocco’s constant progress in various domains such as industry, solidarity, as well as the pioneering role of security services spearheaded by the National Police (DGSN) and Territory Surveillance services (DGST).
It also illustrated Morocco’s membership in Interpol, its vital role in combating crime, and its ongoing transformation to meet today’s challenges.
During the 91st General Assembly, Hammouchi expressed gratitude for entrusting Morocco with the organization of the 2025 edition, and reaffirmed Morocco’s unwavering commitment to international efforts to combat terrorism and transnational crime.
This move is a show of confidence in Morocco’s security institutions, which have gained great expertise in fighting organized crime and terrorism and are now open to all Interpol member states.
