More cooperation urged to boost public security

A China-proposed public security initiative was approved at the 2023 Conference of Global Public Security Cooperation Forum in Lianyungang, Jiangsu province as it closed on Thursday, pledging greater cooperation among signatories on emerging criminal challenges.

The Initiative on Deepening Cooperation for Shared Global Public Security covers transnational cross-border crimes and their new forms, new types of crimes and precautions against the security risks of emerging technologies, such as terrorism, drug-related crime and human trafficking, and cybersecurity and data security.

The initiative will establish a collaborative mechanism among different industries, sectors, countries and regions, and promote international standards and procedures for cooperation. Non-governmental sectors will be encouraged and supported to participate in global public security governance.
