BEIJING, Sept. 26-- Chinese President Xi Jinping's proposal at the opening ceremony of the 86th Interpol General Assembly Tuesday was applauded by police organizations of other countries. "Countries should adopt a concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, and jointly respond to security challenges," Xi said. Antonino Cufalo, deputy police chief of Italy, agreed with Xi's standpoint that individual countries, while maintaining their own security, should take into account the security of other countries. "Security of a country can not be ensured by an individual or a single country; rather, joint efforts between governments of various countries are needed to combat terrorism and cross-border crime," Cufalo said. Ahsan Iqbal, Interior Minister of Pakistan, also supported Xi's advocacy for cooperation and collaboration in terms of ensuring national security. "This vision of shared responsibility and shared concern for everyone is needed at this time," he said. Iqbal said around 70,000 Pakistanis have been killed as a result of terrorism during the past decade, making Pakistan the greatest victim of terrorism over this period. But in the last four years, the country has amassed experience in fighting terrorism, and is willing to share it with other countries. "We look forward to working very closely with China as well as our friends in other countries to create a safer world, not just in our region, but around the whole world, so that we are able to cooperate to deal with new challenges like drug trafficking, cybercrime, technology-driven crime," Iqbal said. |
