The 85th Interpol General Assembly will be held in Indonesia tomorrow. It's been confirmed that Taiwan will not be able to attend, not even as an observer. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed regret over this and said that crime fighting is beyond borders. Transnational crimes have been a serious issue in a globalized world. Taiwan will face challenges in fighting transnational crimes and protecting border security if it is denied access to relevant intelligence. Crime fighting knows no boundaries. However, Taiwan has not been granted access to the upcoming Interpol General Assembly. ==DAVID LEE, Minister of Foreign Affairs== The president and secretary-general of Interpol have informed us in their letters that we have not been extended an invitation to attend the Interpol General Assembly as an observer. (Because of China's suppression?) Apparently, that's a crucial factor. Transnational crimes have become increasingly rampant in a globalized world. Taiwan's national security may be at risk if it is unable to gain access to international intelligence in a timely manner. For instance, this will be a key security issue in next year's Summer Universiade in Taipei, with 12,000 athletes coming from all over the world. ==DAVID LEE, Minister of Foreign Affairs== Taiwan's absence will create a significant gap in the international law enforcement. Thus, we hope that we can find a way to bridge the gap. Some researchers said that the Interpol General Assembly is more of a symbolic event, and there are other avenues to obtain international intelligence. However, Taiwan should still actively seek to participate. ==WANG YUH-WOEI, Prof., Central Police University Dept. of Border Police== We can take a more practical stance and dedicate more efforts to police and immigration administrative work. We need to see security issues as an integral part of our diplomatic efforts. ==WU CHING-CHIN, Dir., Aletheia University Dept. of Law== In the long run, we still need to return to the Interpol. In the short run, though, it is unlikely to happen. The Justice Ministry and the National Police Agency will need to take active steps and sign judicial cooperation agreements with more countries. Since the new administration took office, Taiwan has been excluded from international organization events such as the FAO and ICAO meetings. The DPP administration will need to come up with new ways to overcome these diplomatic challenges. TRANSLATED BY：CHRISTINA LIU 第85屆國際刑警組織大會，11月7號，將會在印尼登場，但今年，台灣確定無法以觀察員身分出席。外交部對此表達遺憾，並表示，打擊犯罪不分國界，在全球化趨勢下，跨國犯罪越來越嚴重，台灣如果無法及時獲取相關情資，那麼在執行打擊跨國犯罪、和維護國境安全上會面臨極大考驗。打擊犯罪、不分國界，但11月7號將在印尼登場的國際刑警組織大會，台灣確定無法出席。 ==外交部長李大維== 國際刑警組織的主席跟秘書長的信函表達他們今年沒有辦法邀請我們以觀察員的身分參加（那是不是因為是中國打壓）我想這是很明顯的這個因素在全球化趨勢下，跨國犯罪案越來越多，台灣如果無法及時獲得國際情資，對於國安來說，會有影響。像是明年台北世大運，預計有超過12000名運動員來台，賽事維安也是問題。 ==外交部長李大維== 對於整個世界治安是一個大缺口所以說我們也希望是採取一個什麼樣的方式把這個缺口能夠彌補起來有學者認為，雖然國際刑警組織大會的象徵性功能，大於實質功能，也有其他管道，可以獲得國際情資，但台灣還是應該積極爭取參與。 ==中央警察大學國境警察系教授汪毓瑋== 或許我們可以更務實的透過我們的這個駐外單位我們多強化有關於警務秘書移民秘書而是必須把安全當成我們外交工作現在推動的很重要的重點之一 ==真理大學法律系主任吳景欽== 長遠來講我們還是要重返這個國際刑警組織短期內我們要重返的機率也不高法務部或者是警政署應該更積極的去藉由個案去進行司法互助的一個協定的簽訂這個才是重點新政府執政以來，包含7月聯合國糧農組織會議、9月國際民航組織會議，以及這回的國際刑警組織大會，台灣都無法出席，國際參與空間一再被壓縮，新政府該如何面對，每一次都是重要考驗。記者台北綜合報導
