This year's conclave under the theme 'National Security in the Context of Emerging Global Threats' will see the international participants together with their local counterparts share their knowledge and views and discuss on thematic issues in nine sessions during the two day event.
Initiated in 2011 the, 'Defence Seminar' has become an important regional event in the international defence conference circuit. The growing number of foreign delegations that attend the event each year speaks volumes on the importance the Defence Seminar has achieved over a short span of time. Last year the Defence Seminar 2014 was attended by over 350 participants, including 148 from 55 countries.
Former President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, Secretary to the Ministry of Defence B.M.U.D Basnayake, and Commander of the Army Lieutenant General Chrishanthe De Silva are scheduled to make brief introductory remarks at the inaugural sessions on the first day.
