| Minister Confirmations Strengthen Planning for IDSC Summit |
The forthcoming Iraq Defence, Security & Communications Summit (IDSC) looks set to be a hugely successful event, following confirmation that the summit will feature a strong delegation of senior Iraqi officials, including Ministers, Deputies and Director Generals.
The summit, which will take place in Dubai on 16-17 February 2008, will welcome the official Iraqi ministerial delegation, to be led by H.E. Abdul Qadir Obeidi, Minister of Defence, H.E. Shirwan Al-Waili, Minister of National Security Affairs and H.E. Raid Jahid Fahmi, Minister of Science & Technology, who have all confirmed their participation with their respective ministry delegations.

Welcoming strong support from the Iraqi Ministries of Defence, Interior, National Security Affairs, Communications and Science & Technology – along with their counterparts from the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) – the purpose of the summit is to provide the opportunity for officials to meet with the international business community and discuss the practical, commercial and technical solutions required to aid the defence, security and ICT sectors.
The IDSC Summit will focus heavily on Iraq’s various security and defence requirements, including the Iraqi police service, defence and security equipment procurement, civil defence, border enforcement, fire service and facilities protection and the role of private security companies. The summit enjoys strong support from key sector organisations such as the Private Security Company Association of Iraq, the British Association of Private Security Companies and the International Peace Operations Associations.

Solutions from the telecommunications and technology sectors will also be discussed, with strong focus placed on the advances required to aid the development of the defence and security sectors.
Evidence of this focus comes with the confirmation received that Iraqi Minister of Science & Technology Raid Jahid Fahmi will be attending the summit with a high delegation of senior director generals, including the General Director of Information Technology and the Head of Contracts.
For all the Iraqi Ministries present at the summit, the attending Deputies and Director Generals will provide specific technical information and details of available contract opportunities.
Meanwhile, the afternoons on both days of the summit (16-17 February) will see private roundtables set up for each Ministry, as well as the attending authorities representing the US Government.

Prior to the summit, confirmed sponsors and delegates will have the opportunity to schedule their preferred meetings with the respective officials to ensure their time at the summit is fully maximised.
A number of the pre-eminent operators in the defence, security, technology and telecommunications market have already confirmed their participation at the summit, taking advantage of the unique opportunity to hold private consultations with some of the leading decision makers within the Iraqi Cabinet, an opportunity unlikely to be provided at any other Iraqi business summit.
A limited number of delegate passes are still available for the summit, while there are also potential sponsorship opportunities available for suitable organisations.
