This conference aides in understanding of the predominant geopolitical characteristics of WHEM in reality, medium and long term, identifying the consequences for the WHEM. In addition, this knowledge acquired will strengthen the understanding and containment of threats to their countries, such as organized crime and transnational drug trafficking, and the actions of undesirable external actors.
Live interpretation of all presentations is conducted simultaneously in four languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese and French). Consequently, IADC encourages you to present your briefing in your native language.
