"Holding the competition has been a great opportunity for Chinese police to exchange knowledge and experience with police around the world. Chinese police will further strengthen their capacity in tackling crime and protecting public property," said Li Chunsheng, vice governor of Guangdong.
"The competition could not have been held successfully without the effort and passion of the Guangdong's organizing committee. All delegations have felt the hospitality and warmth of Guangdong's people, which made them feel at home here," said Sandro Dirckx, secretary general of the USIP.
