On August 7, 2024, the ASEANAPOL Secretariat, led by Executive Director David Martinez Vinluan, welcomed a delegation from the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA). The delegation comprised Mr. Yoon Jong Tak, Consul at the Embassy of the Republic of Korea to Malaysia; Mr. Kim Moon Yeong, Senior Inspector at KNPA; and Ms. Kang Na Rae, Inspector at KNPA. Their visit aimed to strengthen the existing cooperation framework between ASEANAPOL and KNPA.
The ASEANAPOL delegation, including Senior Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Huu Ngoc, Director for Plans and Programmes, and DSP Suresh Subramaniam, Plans and Programmes Officer I, joined the meeting to discuss ongoing and future collaboration.
Inspector Kang Na Rae, the project manager for KNPA’s “iNarae” initiative, highlighted the agency’s commitment to working with ASEAN Member Countries to exchange timely information on websites containing Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). This initiative aims to protect children and facilitate the arrest and prosecution of offenders. The ASEANAPOL Secretariat reaffirmed its commitment to expanding this initiative beyond KNPA to include ASEAN Member Countries, DPs, and OBs, thereby creating a broader network to enhance online safety for minors.
The Executive Director also expressed gratitude for the KNPA's invitation to the International Symposium on Cybercrime Response (ISCR) 2024, scheduled for August 26 to 29, 2024, in Seoul, Korea. The symposium promises to be an invaluable platform for sharing insights and strengthening international cooperation in combating cybercrime.
ASEANAPOL, the ASEAN National Police, is dedicated to enhancing police cooperation among ASEAN member countries. Its mission includes addressing transnational crime, promoting regional security, and upholding the rule of law. ASEANAPOL focuses on combating drug trafficking, human trafficking, terrorism, cybercrime, and organized crime through collaboration and information sharing. Additionally, it works on capacity building, community policing, and public safety.
The visit concluded with a commitment to explore further training opportunities and a customary exchange of gifts, symbolizing a positive step towards a stronger partnership between ASEANAPOL and the Korean National Police Agency in tackling regional transnational crime and raising public awareness.
