During the visit of the Minister of Public Security, Avi Dicter, in Canada, a meeting was held on the 29th of October, 2007 between the Canadian Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Mr. Stockwell Day, and Minister Dicter.

The aim of the meeting was to exchange updates on matters of mutual interest in the fields within the competence of the Ministries and to identify the methods to improve the implementation of the bilateral cooperation between the two Ministries.

The talks analyzed the actions of the competent structures at ministerial, central and subordinate/local levels for preventing and fighting home land securities issues.

The parties have agreed to intensify future cooperation by identifying ways of direct communication in order to maximize the exchange of information, technology and operational activity. For the same reason it has been agreed to accelerate negotiations for the signing of an Arrangement Paper between the two Ministries on cooperation in home land security and counter terrorism issues which falls within the responsibility of the respective Ministries.

Negotiations on the arrangement paper mentioned above will take place as necessary. The signing of the arrangement paper will be held on an occasion and place coordinated in advance between the Ministries.

The two Ministers agreed that by early November three work teams will be established in order to promote the cooperation between the two ministries on the following subjects:
• Counterterrorism and Crime
• Emergency preparedness
• Border crossing security, focusing on biometric identification
