Observers from 34 states and four international organizations, including the UN and Interpol, also participated in the ceremony. As reported by bb.lv citing Xinhua, this is stated in a declaration. Forum participants note that telephone and internet fraud has become a transnational problem, making it increasingly difficult to combat solely at the national level. Therefore, it is proposed to create a specialized international structure that will allow countries to coordinate actions and cooperate in the fight against fraudulent schemes. The organization is expected to operate based on international conventions and primarily focus on practical cooperation among law enforcement agencies from different countries. The Global Forum on Public Security Cooperation took place in the Chinese city of Lianyungang from September 8 to 10.
