The State of Israel takes pride in its knowledge and capabilities on the subject of homeland security. In order to make these abilities and experiences known to a wider audience, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hosted an international convention on the topic in Israel. The four-day conference took place in March 2006 and was attended by 120 participants from the United States and Canada.
In addition to offering a presentation of Israel's expertise in homeland security, the conference was designed to further promote cooperation between Israel and North America in areas of common interest to all three counties. |
