As in past years, the EastWest Institute 7th Worldwide Security Conference (WSC 7) will bring together policy-makers, specialists, business executives, community leaders and journalists from around the world to examine what the world has achieved in working against major security threats and to identify future priorities for countering terrorism and organized crime.
In an effort to stimulate progressive improvement in the way global security is managed and reviewed, recommendations generated from this conference will be brought before relevant governments, international institutions and actors in leading business circles. Each year more and more governments engage with the WSC: since 2006, the chair of the G-8 has cosponsored the conference (Italy, Russia, Germany, and Japan) with the World Customs Organization.
