India holds first ever "Global Security Conference"

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

New Delhi, Dec 3, IRNA -- India will take center-stage globally, on security issues, with the commencement of the first ever “Global Security Conference” to be held in the country Friday.

The two day international event, which is slated to be held on 4th & 5th of December, will be inaugurated by the President of India, Smt. Pratibha Devi Singh Patil, will witness global leaders, including heads of states, bureaucracy, central and state government agencies, leading private security companies, corporates, coming together to deliberate on issues pertaining to global security.

With the world shrinking to become a large “global village”, the concern for security is no longer considered as local to any country, province or region. Social unrests, terrorism, insurgency, crime have transcended international borders often assuming global dimensions, leaving no country immune to their impact. Besides, the South-Asia region is emerging as the hot-bed of all terrorist activities, which may soon lead India to be in the forefront of war on terrorism.

In this backdrop, CAPSI (Central Association of Private Security Industry) and APDI (Association of Private Detectives & Investigators) have come together to host this event of global proportions. With a theme titled “Global Security 09 - Initiatives, Knowledge and Employability”, the participants attending the conference will deliberate on issues, challenges and way forward for the enhancing security in India and globally as well. Participants from over 20 countries including Iran are expected to attend the conference.

Given the global security scenario, there is an urgent need for new initiatives which are geared towards taking an integrated global approach about addressing security issues. This not only calls for international collaboration, but also requires a paradigm shift in the way security is viewed today. This could include policies, regulation, education, and imparting of knowledge which is critical to creating a benevolent global environment.

The event intends to serve as a platform to deliberate and take decisions about the initiatives which are needed.

The Central Association of Private Security Industry (CAPSI) and The Association of Private Detectives and Investigators (APDI) are the apex National Body for the respective industry, viz Security and investigation.

CAPSI and APDI were formed to bring the Private Security and Investigation industry together to one platform and have greatly succeeded in doing so. At the core of objectives is a commitment to ensure that its members follow the highest ethical standards and provide good quality service to their clients.
