中国北京——2021 年 11 月 19 日, 国际移民组织（IOM）和国家移民管理局（NIA）共同举办了关于打击身份欺诈的创新技术研讨会。此活动在第二期支持中欧人员往来和移民领域对话（MMSP II）项目框架下开展。国际移民组织负责项目的执行，欧盟(EU)为项目提供资金支持。

身份和证件欺诈对世界各国及其公民的安全构成威胁，并对全球经济和跨境贸易造成了深远影响。伪造技术逐步发展以应对不断变化的边境和移民政策，同时要求边境和移民机构提高其证件查验和发现冒名顶替者的能力。

为了促进中欧交流当前证件伪造趋势和技术以及身份欺诈的信息，国际移民组织的网络研讨会汇集了不同专家和官员，分别来自国家移民管理局和北京、上海、广州、深圳、珠海和新疆的出入境边防检查总站，以及芬兰驻华使馆、英国驻华使馆、法国驻上海总领馆、德国联邦警察总部和葡萄牙移民和边境服务局。欧洲边境和海岸警卫局和国际移民组织总部的专家和实践者也参与了热烈的讨论。这种混合型的面对面在线活动，使在现场的北京参会者与其他各地人员在线交流。

在开幕致辞中，国际移民组织驻华代表处代表柯吉佩先生回顾说，由于技术进步，创新是一个不断发展的过程，因此现在是时候讨论打击身份欺诈的创新技术。他进一步强调，身份欺诈也是一个不断演变的过程，受到不断发展的跨国有组织犯罪的推动，即使是 COVID-19大流行时似乎也无法阻止或减缓它的演变。

国家移民管理局边防检查管理司边防检查处龚耀处长强调，各国移民管理部门要努力加强交流与国际合作，提高边境管理能力是关键，可以应对犯罪集团造成的不断变化的挑战。

欧盟驻华代表团政治、新闻和信息处负责人 Maria Linder 女士表示，有效管理外部边界有助于合法过境，有助于有效管理旅客、防止外部威胁和改善内部安全。为了应对社会期望并考虑到非正规人员流动带来的全球挑战，此研讨会将为打击非正规移民的总体目标做出实际贡献，这也是欧盟新安全战略的关键优先事项。由于护照、居留许可、签证用于旅行目的和身份证明，因此它们的安全性是非常重要的。

研讨会为中欧移民官员提供了一个有用且有价值的平台，讨论和了解中国与选定的欧盟和非欧盟国家之间的最新伪造趋势、查验和发现欺诈的新技术、犯罪者的作案手法、冒名顶替者和相似者的识别、在识别发现和防止非正规人员流动方面的挑战。

活动中除了介绍国家经验，欧洲边境和海岸警卫局专家向参会者分享了欧盟打击证件和身份欺诈整体方法的内容，国际移民组织专家介绍了其证件查验支持中心 (DESC) 开发的仪表板信息，并以交互方式展示了参加亚洲证件查验网络（ANDEX）的各国在身份欺诈和造假方面的演变。

Beijing, China – A seminar on innovative techniques to combat identity fraud was jointly organized by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and China National Immigration Administration (NIA) in Beijing on 19 November 2021 under the framework of the EU-China Dialogue on Migration and Mobility Support Project (MMSP II), implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) with financial support from the European Union (EU).

Identity and document fraud present a threat to the security of countries and citizens around the world, with far-reaching repercussions on global economy and cross-border trade. Forgery techniques evolve to respond to changing border and immigration policies, while border and immigration authorities are called to enhance their capacity in document examination and impostor detection.

In a bit to contribute to the exchange of information on current identity fraud and document forgery trends and techniques between the EU and China, the IOM’s webinar brought together experts and officials from NIA Headquarters and from the General Stations of Immigration Inspection in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Xinjiang as well as from the Finnish Embassy and the British Embassy in Beijing, the French Consulate General in Shanghai, the German Federal Police Headquarter and Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service. Experts and practitioners from Frontex–the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, and IOM Headquarters, also attended and contributed to the lively discussion. The format was a hybrid in-person-online event, with participants in Beijing attending in person and the others connected online.

In the opening remarks, Mr. Giuseppe CROCETTI, Chief of Mission of IOM China and Mongolia, recalled that innovation is a process in continued evolution, thanks to technological advancements, and it is therefore high time to discuss innovative techniques to combat identity fraud. He further stressed that identity fraud too is a process in continued evolution, fueled by the ever-evolving transnational organized crime, which not even the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be able to stop or slow down.

Director GONG Yao of Department of Immigration Inspection of NIA emphasized that the immigration management departments of all countries should strive to strengthen exchanges and international cooperation. Enhancing capacities of border control systems is key to respond to evolving challenges posed by criminal groups.

Ms Maria Linder, Head of the Political, Press and Information Section of the EU Delegation toChina, said that an effective management of external borders facilitates legitimate border crossing, contributes to an effective management of travellers, prevention of external threats and improvement of internal security. Responding to the expectations of our society and considering global challenges posed by irregular movements, the seminar would deliver practical contribution to the overall objective of fighting against irregular migration, which is a key priority for the new EU security strategy. The security of passports, resident permits, visas, as they are used for travel purposes and as proof of identity, is absolutely essential.

The seminar provided a helpful and valuable platform for European and Chinese immigration officials to discuss and understand key updates in forgery trends, new techniques of inspecting and detecting fraud, modus operandi of perpetrators, impostors and lookalike recognition, challenges to detect them and prevent irregular movements between China and selected EU and non-EU countries.

In addition to countries’ experiences, Frontex briefed participants on the overall approach of the EU to counter document and identity fraud, while IOM presented the dashboards developed by its Document Examination Support Center (DESC) to display interactively the evolution of identity fraud and forgery in the countries participating in the Asian Network for Document Examination (ANDEX).
