International Activities
APSD continued to communicate with overseas aviation authorities to share information on best practices of security measures for enhancing the aviation security in Hong Kong, and participate in international meetings and programmes for monitoring the development of aviation security measures.
ICAO Aviation Security Panel (AVSECP)
APSD has been participating, as part of the Chinese delegation, in the ICAO AVSECP Meeting held annually in Montreal, Canada. The objectives of the AVSECP are to develop SARPs for the purpose of safeguarding civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference, and to identify and examine new and emerging threats against civil aviation.
Liaison with Overseas Aviation Security Authorities
APSD maintained very close liaison with other aviation security authorities. During the year, the aviation security authority of the US visited CAD, and shared the experiences and information with the division on aviation security matters.
