Quezon City, Philippines – 3 June 2026

The ASEANAPOL Secretariat participated in the Pre-Conference Coordination Meeting hosted by the Philippine National Police (PNP) on 3-5 June 2026 in preparation for the 44th ASEANAPOL Conference, which will be held in Manila, Philippines.

The meeting was chaired by PLTGEN Bernard M. Banac, Acting Deputy Chief, PNP for Administration, and attended by representatives from relevant Philippine National Police units and the ASEANAPOL Secretariat. Discussions focused on key preparations for the Conference, including conference management, security arrangements, protocol matters, logistics, accommodation, transportation, and coordination mechanisms necessary to ensure the successful conduct of ASEANAPOL’s premier annual gathering.

During the visit, the ASEANAPOL Secretariat and the Host Country also conducted site inspections of the proposed conference venues and facilities to assess operational readiness and ensure that all arrangements meet the requirements for hosting international delegates, Dialogue Partners, Observers, and invited organizations.

In addition, the Secretariat reviewed the proposed social, cultural, and networking programmes to be organized alongside the Conference, including the ASEANAPOL Golf Fellowship Tournament and selected cultural and educational visits for accompanying delegates and distinguished guests. These activities are intended to promote closer interaction, mutual understanding, and stronger professional relationships among ASEANAPOL Member Countries, in keeping with ASEANAPOL’s longstanding tradition of fostering cooperation through both formal and informal engagements.

The meeting and site visits demonstrated the strong commitment of the Host Country and the ASEANAPOL Secretariat to ensuring a productive and successful Conference while further strengthening regional police cooperation in addressing transnational crime and emerging security challenges.
