Addressing the conference, which has been ongoing since July 7, IGP Karki stated that international police cooperation is indispensable for strengthening global peace, security, and the rule of law.

The Fifth United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit is being held at the UN Headquarters in the United States.

He said, ‘I express confidence that Nepal's commitment to world peace will continue.’ He stated that the Nepal Police is committed to developing modern police services by focusing on increasing the participation of women police, community-police partnership, respect for human rights, and the rule of law.

He mentioned that trust, coordination, and partnership among member states need to be further strengthened for the effective resolution of common challenges to peace and security, and said, ‘I call on all nations to move forward united in building a secure, just, and peaceful world.’

The Nepal Police Headquarters stated that the address presented on behalf of the Nepal Police effectively highlighted Nepal's security perspective, professional capabilities, and firm commitment to world peace on the international stage.
