The meeting will bring together a wealth of knowledge and real-world expertise on the subject matter with participation of member states, relevant operational partners and key stakeholders. Now, you might ask me, what will the discussions focus on? Well, they will focus specifically on the rapid development of three significant technologies. Number one, the internet, including social media; number two new payment technologies and fundraising methods, and number three unmanned aerial systems including drones.”

“Member states have taken a number of steps already to address this issue. Of course, there are no fly zones around airports and critical infrastructures. Of course, companies themselves have taken steps to build in mechanisms for geo-locking so that if drones are found flying in certain places, they can be deactivated automatically. So, a number of technological steps and also policy and legislative steps have been taken, in how drones are used. In terms of how they're sold and who can buy them, there are ideas there, are a number of discussions.”
