He observed that this Conference over the years has emerged as a ‘Think Tank’, facilitating decision making and formulation of new security strategies. He emphasized on uniformity of structures, size and skill of counter terror mechanisms across the country.
Union Home Minister also highlighted the role of internal security in realizing the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of India becoming a developed nation by 2047.
The Conference would deliberate on a range of security related issues of critical importance including security of borders, cyber-threats, radicalization, fraudulent issuance of identity documents and threats emerging from AI.
