THE Philippine Government, the National Coast Watch Council Secretariat (NCWCS), and IQPC Asia, will host the inaugural Maritime Security & Coastal Surveillance Philippines conference on June 9-10 at the Manila Hotel.

The conference could attract 200 representatives of international and regional navies, coast guards and maritime government organisations to Manila. The two-day event’s dominant issues are expected to include maritime security, illegal immigration, the smuggling of illicit goods and arms, piracy, human trafficking, anti-terrorism, illegal fishing and border protection.

“Given the opportunity to collaborate with the prestigious NCWCS, this conference acts as an ideal regional platform for navies, coast guards, air force and all government defence bodies to engage in constructive dialogue over all pressing concerns in the changing maritime security environment,” says Maya Sivamany, head of the defence and government portfolio at Singapore-based IQPC Asia. “We’re looking forward to positive discussions from all defence bodies on their technology requirements as they make procurement decisions at the event.”

“Enhancing Maritime Security & Coastal Surveillance In The Philippines And The APAC Region Through The Effective Use Of Surveillance And Cutting-Edge Technologies” is the theme of the conference, and will allow local government organisations including the Philippine Navy, Philippine Coast Guard (pictured), Philippine Air Force, NAMRIA, Department of Transport and Communications, Department of National Defense, Bureau of Fisheries and more to highlight and search for the latest technological solutions to meet operational requirements.

The conference will also feature VIP one-to-one meetings and bilateral visits between Philippine, regional government organisations, and key industry players in a bid to promote inter-agency cooperation and enhanced networking opportunities. PR Newswire
