China to strengthen security for Olympics

25/04/2008 -- 7:52 PM

Hanoi (VNA) – China and the International Police (Interpol) will jointly set up a hotline to ensure the rapid exchange of intelligence during this summer's Olympic Games, local media reported. "It is the first time there will be a direct hotline between the head of Olympic security and the head of Interpol," Interpol secretary general Ronald Noble told reporters on the sidelines of an international conference on security cooperation for the August 8-24 Games in Beijing. China's security forces have staged a number of exercises in recent months to simulate potential security dangers, including hijackings and hostage-takings. An Interpol Major Event Support Team (IMEST) will arrive in China prior to the start of the Games to train Chinese officers in crisis and major event operations, China’s Xinhua news agency cited Noble as saying. China will have automated access to Interpol database on fingerprints, images and wanted persons notice, he added.-Enditem
