Land Transport Security International Working Group



1.Summary

The framework was founded based on the Ministerial Conference on International Transport Security which was held in Tokyo, January 2006 and for the purpose of enhancing the cooperation between each country by common ownership of the terrorism examples and the best practices (excellent examples) in the Land Transport Sector where there wasn't a global framework. Based on the presentations from each country, we mainly discussed the further improvement of railroad security measures. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport gathered a good casebook on the improvement of the public consciousness at the third meeting.
