Casablanca, largest city in Morocco, is set to host international border and migration management professionals on Border Security Congress scheduled for March to discuss emerging trends in migration and cross border security.
Organisers of the summit inform that the event is geared towards building trust and cooperation through discussion and dialogue.
The World Border Congress is the premier multi-jurisdiction global platform where the border protection policymakers, management and practitioners together with security industry professionals, convene annually to discuss the international challenges faced in protecting borders.
The event director Neil Walker notes in a statement that recent years have seen unprecedented crisis on a global scale, from the Middle East warring factions creating mass refugee movements across Europe, promoting the key focus of the summit.
More so, illegal economic migrants from Africa and Asia have created increasing challenge for the international border management and security community.
Also, the international organised criminal gangs and human and drug trafficking groups exploit opportunities and increasingly abuse the Internet and technology to enhance their activities.
He informs that the summit in Casablanca will explore opportunities in the World Border Security Congress to discuss and debate current and future policies, implementation issues and challenges as well as new and develop information technologies that contribute towards safe and secure border and migration management.
