Consultation and Co-operation • The strong representation of the regional Police, Customs and Immigration Secretariat at relevant forums is paving the way for their respective agencies • The individual agency contributions to these regional bodies has raised awareness levels • The interaction between Immigration agencies has increased greatly and more commitment is necessary
IN THE CONTEXT OF THE BALI PROCESS • Raise awareness; • Encourage bilateral action; and • Develop practical measures, to prevent, intercept and disrupt people smuggling & trafficking and other transnational crime in the Asia Pacific region through a proactive Immigration Intelligence network. • Sharing intelligence information in real time.
