Transport officials from 14 countries wrapped up a two-day international counterterrorism conference Friday in Tokyo with a joint declaration reaffirming their commitment to ensuring transport security through international cooperation and capacity-building assistance for developing countries.
At the Ministerial Conference on International Transport Security, ministers called for establishment of a new international working group to promote cooperation in ground transport security.
Unlike the U.N. International Maritime Organization and the U.N. International Civil Aviation Organization, there is no international framework for ground transport safety.
