Interpol Marrakech 2025: Hammouchi Calls for a Global and Fair Security Alliance
The 93rd Interpol General Assembly opened this Monday in Marrakech, bringing together security and diplomatic delegations from across the globe. In this intense international atmosphere, the address delivered by the Director General of the DGSN-DGST, Abdellatif Hammouchi, stood out as one of the highlights of the opening session. Far from a mere protocol speech, it marked a strategic statement of Morocco’s position in light of the profound transformations shaping global security.
From the outset, Hammouchi welcomed the large number of participants, recalling that Marrakech is not hosting this event for the first time: in 2007, the Red City hosted the 76th Interpol General Assembly. This return, he noted, reflects the renewed confidence of the international community in the effectiveness of the Moroccan security model and in the Kingdom’s growing role in strengthening global security.
The Moroccan security chief emphasized that the choice of Morocco as host was no coincidence. It reflects, he explained, the Kingdom’s constant commitment to multilateral cooperation and its determination to actively contribute to the building of strong alliances against transnational challenges redefining crime and terrorism.
Relying on the strategic orientations of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Hammouchi recalled that security, far from being an individual achievement, is a collective good that requires everyone's involvement. This philosophy, he stressed, underpins the Moroccan approach, based on partnership, international solidarity, and respect for national sovereignty and fundamental rights.

He also outlined the main pillars of the so-called “Moroccan method” in the field of security: an integrated approach combining operational rigor, respect for public liberties, and continual adaptation to emerging risks. For Hammouchi, the fight against crime can no longer be confined to physical borders; it must also encompass digital spaces, now fertile ground for extremist networks and criminal organizations.
In this sense, he called for stronger cooperation mechanisms between States, highlighting the need to build shared security structures capable of acting jointly across continents. The goal: to develop fast, secure, and reliable information-sharing tools and to multiply coordinated operations in the face of threats that evolve faster than national legislation.
Hammouchi also praised Interpol’s central role in facilitating cooperation among police forces worldwide. Faced with increasingly internationalized and digitized risks, security services must, in his view, assume greater collective responsibility to contain the expansion of new criminal methods driven by technological advances.
In conclusion, the Director General of the DGSN-DGST expressed his confidence in the outcomes of this 93rd General Assembly. He reaffirmed Morocco’s commitment to strengthening cooperation with Interpol and all member states, stressing that security, now more than ever, is a global endeavor whose success requires shared mobilization and loyal cooperation among nations.
