Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Interpol’s Assembly.
The four-day event will culminate on October 21 and is witnessing participation by delegations from 195 countries comprising of ministers, police chiefs of countries, heads of national central bureaus, and senior police officers.
The Interpol General Assembly meeting is taking place in India after a gap of about 25 years.
