The General Assembly also agreed on a financial plan of Interpol until 2020, which must ensure openness, transparency, efficiency and balance of budget.

In addition, the General Assembly also discussed the outcomes of prevention and fight against prioritized crimes and implementation of priorities in 2017, as well as set new orientations for 2018.

During the three working days, the General Assembly of Interpol considered the application for membership of the Solomon Islands, the State of Palestine and the Republic of Kosovo.
