Speaking following the vote in favor of the Moroccan candidacy, the Director General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance, Abdellatif Hammouchi, expressed the thanks of the Kingdom of Morocco to all those who spoke in favor of the organization in Marrakech of this global event.
Hammouchi also stressed that the Kingdom of Morocco and its national security services are entirely ready to host this renowned security forum in the best conditions, maintaining that Morocco provides constant support to Interpol and member countries in their efforts in favor of global security and stability.
The choice of Morocco to host this global event reflects the aura and image enjoyed by the Kingdom in its regional and international environment, thanks to the leadership of King Mohammed VI, as well as the credibility and great confidence in Moroccan security institutions, known for having accumulated significant experience and expertise in the fight against terrorism and organized crime.
