Dr. John Rose (second from right), Director of the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies, listens as Army Lt. Gen. (Ret.) E. P. Smith, speaks to participants in the 5-day seminar on "Transnational Security Challenges and Cross-Regional Cooperation" that took place Oct. 25 - 31 at the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies in Honolulu, Hawaii. Twenty-seven senior alumni from the APCSS and the Marshall Center attended the seminar.
The overall objective and theme of the seminar was enhanced inter-regional understanding of security issues and concerns in regions supported by both Centers, as well as logical security-cooperation interfaces requiring cross-regional collaboration. This inaugural seminar identifies proven practices in responding to security trends and shocks and expands potential areas of inter-regional cooperation.
