 The dialogue is about exchanging knowledge, forging partnerships and, ultimately and most importantly, working together to tackle transnational crimes. Around the world we are witnessing foreign terrorist fighter-returnees become radicalization agents or active players in attacks. The global drug market is reaching record levels, impacting on our communities and generating billions for organized crime groups. These threats, combined with increased technological and geopolitical uncertainties, are leading to an even more complex international security environment. We need to be united in order to face these challenges and the dialogue Interpol began in 2016 is an important part of this process.
