The meeting formed part of broader international efforts to strengthen cooperation among law enforcement agencies in tackling the growing threat of online scams and cyber-enabled crimes. Held alongside the Anti-Scam Conference in Singapore, the discussions provided an opportunity for officials to exchange experiences and explore collaborative approaches to combating transnational criminal activities.
