 Since its official launch in October 2015, Interpol's EU, ASEAN, Migration and Border Management program has successfully trained over 275 front-line border officials from all 10 ASEAN member states. Interpol's three-year program funded by the European Union is designed to support ASEAN with the implementation of its master plan on ASEAN connectivity by providing police and immigration officials with tangible policing capabilities to manage the movement of people throughout the region. The EU selected Interpol to implement this program because Interpol is working with each and every of the 10 ASEAN member states because those countries are members of Interpol and at the same time Interpol as the tools such as the I-247 system to help put in place proper and safer border management practices. Throughout 2016 the program team successfully conducted five capacity-building training activities in Cambodia, Brunei, Laos, Thailand and the Philippines. The aim of the training is to increase the skills and knowledge of law enforcement agencies dealing with border management in the ASEAN community. For me it's a very good opportunity to increase my capacity as immigration officers of course in this case to get to know the best practices especially in border management which is my day-to-day duty to share information, to build network with other neighboring countries just to know what's going on in their country as well. I learned a lot before this, before I came to this course. I don't have much information but after I finished this course for almost nine days I have learned a lot about Interpol, I badge, I have 24-7. It's great. In June the program launched Operation Red Lotus involving Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. Undertaken at international airports in Bangkok, Hanoi and Jakarta Operation Red Lotus sought to build closer collaboration between immigration and police agencies by exploiting Interpol's global policing capabilities to carry out enhanced passenger screening. In September the program team was deployed to Laos to assist law enforcement agencies with their security arrangements for the 2060 ASEAN Summit. I'm very pleased with the result so far and we see that things are really moving forward and that I'm convinced that in the next 12 or 18 months we will have pretty much those results. We have already very, very encouraging results from so many countries so I'm happy to see how far we'll be able to go.
