Transport Minister Steven Joyce will attend the Asia-Pacific
Ministerial Conference on Aviation Security in Tokyo
tomorrow.
It is part of a series of conferences scheduled following the
attempted terrorist attack on board a flight from Amsterdam
to Detroit on December 25.
It will focus on general aviation security, including the
alignment of security requirements internationally, and
developments in technology.
Mr Joyce said the conference presented an opportunity to
strengthen security links with other nations.
"When it comes to aviation security and international
terrorism, no country is immune," he said.
"It's important that New Zealand is involved in discussions
of this nature and remains vigilant in its approach to
aviation security."
Mr Joyce will be back in time for Monday's cabinet meeting.
