[webfact]

 

In the coming week, top ASEAN immigration authorities are preparing to convene in Phuket to tackle the ongoing issues of transborder crimes across the region. The assembly will see the participation of delegates from China, Japan, South Korea, and Australia.

 

According to the commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, Pakphumpipat Sajjaphan, the Immigration Bureau (IB) along with the Royal Thai Police (RTP), are set to host the 26th annual meeting of the ASEAN Directors-General of Immigration Departments and Heads of Consular Affairs Divisions of Ministries of Foreign Affairs Meeting (DGICM), from August 7 to 11 on the island.

 

Pakphumpipat stressed that the focus of the DGICM discussions would revolve around the quashing of transnational crimes and potential threats targeting the national security of Thailand and fellow ASEAN nations.

“The main focus of the DGICM is to improve cooperation among Asean members and its observers for intelligence. Addressing human trafficking, smuggling, terrorism and cyber crimes is the main target of the RTP.”
