LONDON, England — Daniel Hodge, the prime minister of Curacao is set to address Defence IQ’s Caribbean Basin Coastal Surveillance and Maritime Security Summit (CABSEC) on the 12 – 14 March 2013 in Curacao.
The participants, including ambassadors, defence ministers, senior government officials, chiefs of navies, defence staff and coast guards involved in regional and hemispheric security, will discuss maritime security priorities and enforcement requirements for the region.
With the European Union drawing up its Joint EU-Caribbean strategy, the USA strengthening security along this major drug route and Brazil and other Latin American nations increasing efforts to secure this crucial export route, CABSEC comes at an important time for maritime security in the region. Solutions to the regions’ maritime security challenges and funding streams will also be under discussion.
The CABSEC Summit includes a dedicated focus day on counter-narcotics, providing international perspectives on tackling the illicit traffic in narcotics and its global implications.
CABSEC will be attended by industry leaders and businesses with solutions to enhance coastal surveillance and maritime security.
