On Thursday, May 15, the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Mohamed Amin, held high-level talks with Abdulaziz Obaidalla, the Director of Global Outreach and Regional Support (DGORS) at INTERPOL.

"The engagement underscores the deep and enduring partnership between the DCI and INTERPOL, and a shared resolve to advance international security through effective, coordinated policing," DCI wrote.
