Granted by the Chinese State Councilor and Ministry of Public Security, the medal is given to prominent world figures in recognition of their exceptional contributions in combating organised and transnational crime and enhancing cooperation with Chinese security agencies.
Dr Al Raisi was praised for his exemptional presidency of the largest international police organisation with 196 member countries.
During the event, Dr. Al Raisi stressed the importance of strengthening strategic coordination and information exchange among Interpol member states, especially amid rapidly evolving security threats that require a unified and effective response.
He expressed his deep gratitude for this prestigious recognition, affirming that the “Great Wall Medal – Gold Class” is not only a personal honour but also an international acknowledgment of Interpol's role as a global platform for security cooperation.
