The Gabonese government has reaffirmed its commitment to international police cooperation at the 5th UNOPS summit in New York, where Minister of Interior, Security and Decentralization Adrien Nguema Mba emphasized the need for real-time information sharing and joint data collection to combat transnational threats.
Gabon has been a member of the Central African Police Committee (CCPAC) since 1997 and participates in regional police cooperation mechanisms through the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) as well as the I-24/7 secure communication system of Interpol. Recently, Libreville signed strategic agreements with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the World Customs Organization, and Interpol to strengthen efforts against illicit trafficking and organized crime.
