Bilateral meetings are where cooperation turns into action.
It’s been a real pleasure meeting so many delegations, exchanging ideas and strengthening relationships for the future.
Every member country has a voice, and I will listen to all of them.

Just finished my press briefing to spotlight key General Assembly items;
- tackling organized crime
- rolling out custom-built support for member countries
- unveiling our new strategic framework.

All while bringing police leaders from around the world together under one roof to drive real change.
