Rwanda To Host Interpol General Assembly

Rwanda was unanimously voted to host the 84th Interpol General Assembly slated for2015.

The decision was taken during the 82nd Interpol General Assembly held in Cartagena De Indias, Colombia late this month.

According to Rwanda’s director of Interpol Nepo Mbonyumuvunyi, since its formation 100 years ago, Rwanda will be the 5th African Country to host Interpol General Assembly after Senegal in 1992, Egypt in 1998, Cameroun in 2002, and Morocco in 2007.

Interpol is the second biggest world organization after the United Nations. It is composed of 190 countries with a mission to connect all Police Institutions worldwide for a safer world.

“It’s expected that over 1, 000 delegates from all member states, private and public partners and other national and international organization will attend,” said Mbonyumuvunyi, in a statement.

Rwanda was appointed to the Interpol Executive Committee in 2011 during the 80th Interpol General Assembly in Hanoi and Vietnam with a delegate to represent Africa at Interpol General Secretariat (IPSG).
