The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, PhD, NPM, has led a distinguished Nigerian delegation to the Global Public Security Cooperation Forum (GPSCF) taking place from 16th to 18th September 2025 in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, People’s Republic of China.
The IGP’s participation in this high-profile international gathering comes at the invitation of the Government of the People’s Republic of China. The Forum brings together Ministers of Security, Chiefs of Police, law enforcement leaders, and security experts from across the globe to deliberate on collective strategies to confront transnational crime, strengthen partnerships, and advance global public safety.
As part of the programme, IGP Egbetokun will deliver a keynote address on 18th September 2025 on the theme “Combating Transnational Crime and Countermeasures”. His presentation will spotlight Nigeria’s ongoing counter-crime initiatives, innovative policing reforms, and collaborative efforts with international partners in disrupting cross-border criminal networks and safeguarding communities.
Ahead of the Forum, the IGP will hold a bilateral meeting with the Deputy Minister of Public Security of China, Mr Qi Yanjun, on 15th September 2025. Discussions will focus on enhancing security cooperation, intelligence sharing, capacity building, and strengthening law enforcement ties between Nigeria and China.
The attendance of IGP Egbetokun at this global platform underscores the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to international security collaboration, intelligence-driven policing, and proactive responses to emerging security threats. It equally reaffirms Nigeria’s position as a responsible global partner in shaping the future of public security and law enforcement.
