DUBAI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 20th Jan, 2019) Strategic partnership and security cooperation are the main UK themes as over 100 UK security, fire and safety companies exhibit a range of world leading capabilities at Intersec 2019, which began today in Dubai. This significant UK presence reflects the strong commitment to future security cooperation and partnership between the UK and the UAE.
A press release issued today by the British Embassy in the UAE said UK companies are looking for opportunities for industrial partnerships and long term joint ventures. It added that the UK is also keen to share its experience of managing major events and protecting critical national infrastructure from the threat of terrorism. "The UK has also extensive experience in securing maritime and land borders and in aviation security and looks to work closely with the UAE in this important and growing sector."
"The UK is already committed to supporting Expo 2020 Dubai and looks forward to working together with the organising committee to support its collaborative vision of ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future’.
The UK is also keen to work with the UAE in achieving its aspirations for the 2030 vision," the Embassy further noted.
The UK team, to the three-day event, is led by Simon Everest, Director of the Department for International Trade’s Defence and Security Organisation, DIT DSO. He is accompanied by Robert Barnes Police and Security Adviser in DIT DSO.
Simon Everest said, "The UAE is an important strategic partner and our aim is to continue to deepen and strengthen our security relationship. Intersec 2019 gives us an important opportunity to discuss security challenges and issues faced by both our countries with the aim of sharing best practice and finding joint solutions. The Government of the United Kingdom is keen to help the UAE in the planning for, and delivery of, a safe and secure Expo 2020. I am very keen that the significant presence of UK companies creates the opportunity for long term industrial partnerships in the UAE so that we can continue to share the knowledge, understanding and technology that can only strengthen our ties."
