The Inspector General of the Namibian Police, Joseph Shikongo, has left for Scotland, where he leads a Namibian delegation to participate in the 92nd INTERPOL General Assembly.

The Assembly will start on Monday in Glasgow.

The General Assembly is INTERPOL's highest governing body and the largest global gathering of senior law enforcement officials, including police chiefs, ministers, and senior government officials.

This year's agenda includes the appointment of a new Secretary General to succeed Jürgen Stock, who concludes his 10-year term. 

Valdecy Urquiza of Brazil is the candidate selected by the Executive Committee.

Namibia's Deputy Inspector General, Major General Anne-Marie Nainda, is vying for the seat of Interpol’s Vice President for Africa.
