The alliance’s inaugural conference brought together representatives from 46 founding countries, 34 observer countries and four international organisations, including the United Nations and INTERPOL. Pakistan was among the founding countries.
The alliance aims to encourage cooperation among law-enforcement agencies investigating telecom and cyber-enabled fraud and related offences. Its stated areas of focus include coordination, information-sharing and the exchange of experience between participating countries.
The international nature of these investigations can make cooperation between countries important: suspects, victims, digital platforms, financial transactions and electronic evidence may be located in different jurisdictions. The forum provides a setting for agencies to discuss investigative approaches and build professional links.
The NCCIA Spokesperson said Pakistan’s participation reflects the country’s commitment to international cooperation and to improving investigative capabilities.
