Wang Xiaohong stated that cracking down on crime and maintaining justice are the common responsibilities of the police. In recent years, the Chinese police have actively cooperated with law enforcement agencies of various countries and achieved significant results in combating transnational organized crime such as terrorism, cybercrime, drug-related crimes, and telecommunications fraud. China is willing to work hand in hand with all parties to further strengthen practical cooperation in international law enforcement and security, and effectively safeguard the social stability and people's well-being of each country. As one of the founding countries of the International Police and Sports Federation, China will continue to strongly support its work and actively promote the healthy development of police sports exchanges among countries.

The President of the International Police and Sports Federation, Sabah, and law enforcement officials from various countries highly praised the efforts made by China to host this competition. They stated that this competition is not only a competitive competition, but also a bridge for police exchanges and communication among countries, which will better promote practical cooperation in the field of law enforcement and security among countries.
