In Hong Kong, a public multi-storey car park on Rumsey Street is set to close for six weeks starting November 1 for use as an Interpol meeting venue. The seventh and eighth floors will be transformed into a traffic coordination command centre to accommodate 240 electric cars used by Interpol's general assembly participants. The assembly, the highest governing body of Interpol, will take place from November 30 to December 3 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The car park, located on Hong Kong Island close to hotels and the meeting venue, was selected for its convenience in coordinating and dispatching vehicles for the conference. After the assembly concludes, the car park will reopen to the public on December 12. The 94th Interpol general assembly marks China's third time hosting the event, with Hong Kong participating as part of China's Interpol national delegation.
Police have promised to monitor traffic conditions and ensure smooth flow while the car park is closed.
