The elections witnessed strong competition between candidates from seven Asian countries, which reflects the great importance of this seat in strengthening the leadership role within the international organization.
In a statement following the announcement of the results, HE Sheikh Nayef bin Faleh bin Saud Al Thani said that this achievement is the culmination of the State of Qatar’s vision in supporting regional and international peace and stability, and its efforts to enhance its position in major international organizations, especially in the areas of international security and police cooperation.
