HH the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani visited Wednesday the worldwide exhibition of internal State security Milipol Qatar, which was held at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center from 31 October to 02 November 2016.

HH the Emir viewed the latest security technologies that major global companies had on display at the exhibition. HH the Emir also listened to presentations on the latest innovation in the field of securing industrial sites, transport and communications as well as the latest developments in civil defense and combating crime.

HH the Emir was accompanied by HE Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported.

Milipol Qatar, a trade event dedicated to homeland security, has been co-organized by the Ministry of Interior of the State of Qatar and the French-based Comexposium Security since 1996.

Every two years, Milipol Qatar attracts and welcomes to Doha the biggest companies in the public and industrial security sector in the world. These companies showcase the latest products and service innovations in the fields of security, safety, detection and prevention equipment and systems.

For over 30 years, the MILIPOL brand has been synonymous with high quality, international events covering the field of homeland security. It has been proudly represented by Milipol Paris and Milipol Qatar. After the 2015 edition of the Global Security Asia exhibition and conference, the event was renamed Milipol Asia-Pacific. This effectively creates the world's leading international network of events dedicated to solutions, technologies and innovations for homeland security.

The 12th edition of Milipol Qatar will be held in October 2018, the organizers announced.
