THE PHILIPPINES PARTICPATES IN ICAO'S GLOBAL SECURITY SYMPOSIUM 2017 IN MONTREAL

14 September 2017, Ottawa - The Philippines participates in International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO's) inaugural Global Security Symposium (AVSEC2017) which runs from 12 to 14 September 2017 at ICAO's Headquarters in Montreal. 

The symposium, organized by ICAO in collaboration with Airports Council International (ACI), brings together aviation and security experts and professionals from around the globe. It aims to promote the cultivation of a novel aviation security paradigm, one that is beyond a fixed set of standards, and to strengthen international cooperation and collaboration to address current challenges facing aviation security including, terroristthreats targeting civil aviation. The symposium's main tagline No Country Is Left Behind succinctly reminds everyone that the entire global aviation security system is only as good as its weakest link.

The Philippine Delegation is composed of officials from the Philippine Embassy in Ottawa, the Office of Transportation Security, Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, the Civil Aviation Training Center, and the Bureau of Immigration. 

The delegation visited the booths of exhibitors, including Aviation ISAC, PostEurop RapiScan Systems, Osprey Flight Solutions, Tudor Tech, and NucTech, which showcased the latest state-of-the art aviation security technologies. END.
