The Qatar National Security Shield Project is officially hosting the QMARSEC conference again this year. This annual conference kicked off in 2013 with tremendous support from Maritime security experts globally.  With the theme of "Maritime Domain Awareness - The Steps to Maritime Security" this years conference is set to emerge as a robust platform of exchange for the defense, space and security arenas.

Welcoming delegates to be part of Qatars largest maritime security conference, Director of Qatars National Security Shield Project, Staff Brigadier (pilot) Mohammed A AL-Mannai said, "It is a matter of great satisfaction for me to announce that Commander Parisis Kanoutos HN has expressed his consent to be part of the QMARSEC conference 2014. He is one of the most respected figures across the globe in matters related to maritime security. Commander Kanoutos' presence will certainly allow us to take this conference to new heights."

Commander Kanoutos feels that events such as QMARSEC 2014 will play a stellar role in promoting collaboration amongst key stakeholders in the global community for maritime security. "I really apprecite the efforts put together by the organisers to conceptualise an event of this magnitude and importance.  More such events will make it possible to resolve all kinds of security threats with high efficiency.  I am looking forward to meeting the delegates and making a meaningful contribution to the event."
