Interpol’s headquarters, known as the General Secretariat, was established in Paris in 1966. In 1989, the headquarters moved to Lyon, France.
Interpol’s working languages were French and English in its early days, with Spanish being used from 1955. Arabic was formally adopted as the fourth official language in 1999.
