ASEANAPOL Unanimously Adopts Resolution to Counter Transnational Scams and Human Trafficking

The National Police Agency announced on November 6 that the resolution for the "Breaking Chains" global joint operation to counter transnational scams and human trafficking was unanimously adopted by all 10 ASEAN member countries at the 43rd ASEANAPOL Conference.

Breaking Chains is a global joint operation aimed at severing the links of transnational crimes such as scam centers operating across borders, human trafficking, and online fraud.

During the conference, the Korean National Police Agency delegation explained the purpose and implementation direction of the resolution through bilateral consultations and joint discussions with the ASEANAPOL Secretariat, member states, and dialogue partners. The member countries agreed that this resolution would serve as a starting point for a shared understanding and response to emerging criminal trends in the region.

The National Police Agency plans to hold the Breaking Chains global joint operation meeting in Seoul on November 11, where it will discuss not only concrete project plans with key partner countries' police agencies but also the first phase of implementation, including case-by-case cooperation.

Lee Jaeyoung, Director General for International Cooperation at the National Police Agency, stated, "The adoption of the Breaking Chains resolution marks a turning point in international cooperation jointly created by the Korean National Police Agency and ASEANAPOL," adding, "We will continue to develop practical cooperation models for responding to transnational crimes and protecting victims in partnership with ASEANAPOL."
