DSI Launch "Legal Conversation Meeting" to Strengthen International Law Enforcement Network

January 14, 2026 — The Ministry of Justice, through the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), hosted the "Legal Conversation Meeting " seminar. The opening ceremony was presided over by Police Lieutenant General Rutthaphon Naowarat, Minister of Justice, at the Meta 1 Room, 2nd Floor, Rajpruek Club.

The Justice Minister was joined by Police Major Yutthana Praedam, Director-General of the DSI, senior DSI executives, and representatives from foreign law enforcement agencies.

The project served as a platform to exchange knowledge, experiences, and best practices in law enforcement between the DSI and international counterpart agencies of similar jurisdictions, including the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau of Taiwan (MJIB), and the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency (NCA).

The Minister of Justice stated that crime has become increasingly complex and interconnected across borders, involving transnational crime, cybercrime, and corruption. Therefore, developing the potential of Thai law enforcement agencies to meet international standards is a critical mission of the Ministry of Justice. This project is considered part of an academic and policy study aimed at upgrading the DSI’s operations to ensure efficiency, transparency, and resilience against future challenges.

The DSI Director-General revealed that the "Legal Conversation Meeting " project is a DSI initiative led by Police Captain Surawoot Rangsai, Deputy Director-General of the DSI as part of a comparative study between the DSI and similar foreign law enforcement agencies, focusing on analysis across five key dimensions: Organizational structure, Roles and authority, Management models, Operational standards, and Operational independence. The results of this study will be used to formulate policy recommendations for further organizational development.

In addition to gathering in-depth data for research, organizing this project lays the foundation for legal and law enforcement cooperation. This will lead to closer information exchange, coordination, and collaboration in the future, ultimately benefiting the overall elevation of Thailand's justice system.
