Key highlights of this session include:

  • The appointment of the next Secretary General, with Valdecy Urquiza of Brazil nominated to succeed Jürgen Stock.
  • Elections for nine new members of the Executive Committee as current mandates conclude.
  • Interactive panels focusing on critical topics such as biometric capabilities on the frontline, the role of AI in policing, sustaining multilateralism, and the future of law enforcement leadership.

Additionally, discussions will address global partnerships, governance, data processing, and general policing capabilities. The Assembly will also vote on the program of activities and the 2025 budget.
