The visiting delegates expressed their gratitude for the warm hospitality and praised the summit’s role in uniting law enforcement leaders worldwide to address shared challenges and seize opportunities for innovation.

In a significant step towards reinforcing international law enforcement collaboration, Dubai Police and the Italian Carabinieri signed a Memorandum of Understanding during the summit. The agreement, inked by Lt. Gen. Abdulla Khalifa Al Marri and Gen. Salvatore Luongo, aims to boost cooperation across multiple domains including security operations, training programmes, and the exchange of best practices in institutional services.
The MoU outlines plans to work jointly on crime prevention, countering transnational threats, sharing training modules, participating in specialised conferences and exhibitions, and organising urgent meetings and capacity-building sessions.
It also paves the way for the formation of joint working groups to implement these initiatives through defined timelines and action plans, as well as the exchange of intelligence that supports both parties in fulfilling their law enforcement missions.
