 The UN Office on Drugs and Crime Interpol are solid and reliable partners and actually our organizations are mutually complementary and they are unique in their nature because Interpol is the only international organization established to support national police and UNDC is the only UN body which is specialized in dealing with transnational organized crime, corruption, illicit drugs, prevention of terrorism. So we are working together for many years and we have solid ground in terms of agreements on cooperation between our two organizations. But also it is absolutely clear that both of us, we have to use fully the potential of our cooperation especially nowadays when the challenges and threats of the nexus between all forms of organized crime as well as terrorism and while extremism is becoming so urgent, so tangible for all member states, we need to act together, we need to prevent all forms of organized crime, illicit trafficking and terrorism and in this way we can really provide available support to our stakeholders, member states. We now having the second meeting of our main coordinating body, the steering committee and our colleagues started to discuss additional ideas, how we can work together, how we can deliver together, how we can support together countries in different parts of the world suffering from the impact of transnational organized crime, illicit trafficking, terrorism and drugs and I hope that this meeting will help us to move our cooperation from strength to strength and to come up with concrete and specific proposals that would allow us to provide even greater assistance to those in need, those who are suffering from illicit activities, illegal activities and for those who are inspired by the sustainable development goals because without the rule of law, without putting an end to corruption and bribery, without putting an end to organized crime, it is hardly possible to move ahead with a sustainable development agenda, it's hardly possible to move ahead with strengthening of international peace and security, that's why I appreciate the whole support we are getting from Interpol and I hope that our cooperation will continue for the benefit of all countries in the world, I thank you.
