 On behalf of the Australian Government I was very pleased to welcome Jurgen Stock, the Secretary-General of Interpol and over 300 delegates from over 70 countries here today to talk about this very important issue. As Jurgen has said, improvised explosive devices are a blight on the world. There are threats to our troops, over 54% of Australian troops that have been killed or wounded around the world have been as a result of IEDs. And so the very sort of cooperation that we're seeing at this forum with police, with government officials and with military folk attending is exactly the sort of interaction we need to make sure that our responses are much more joined up in the future. IEDs, one person can have a strategic effect. We saw that on the 17th of August in Thailand. We often used to associate IEDs in Thailand with the Southern Insurgency as we saw the other day it now threatens Thailand's biggest city. One man with a weapon and a backpack purporting to contain an improvised explosive device shut down a city block in Sydney last December. So this sort of interaction is particularly valuable. I congratulate Interpol on their leadership and I think that we're going to get a great deal of value from this gathering over the next three days.
