MINISTER of Foreign and Caricom Affairs Sean Sobers yesterday represented Trinidad and Tobago at a high-level ministerial dialogue on the resurgence of political terrorism hosted by United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington, DC.Trinidad and Tobago is among a select group of countries invited to participate in the discussions, which are aimed at strengthening international cooperation to address emerging threats posed by politically motivated terrorism, a release from the Ministry of Foreign and Caricom Affairs stated yesterday.The ministry said the Government recognises that terrorism, extremism and politically motivated violence pose significant threats to democratic institutions, public safety and economic stability. It said Trinidad and Tobago remains committed to working with regional and international partners to strengthen security cooperation, improve information sharing and support collective action against transnational threats.The ministerial dialogue will focus on what organisers describe as the renewed threat posed by political terrorism and will seek to encourage stronger international cooperation to reinforce frontline defences and close security gaps exploited by terrorist groups. The release stated that particular attention will be given to the resurgence of far-left political terrorism in recent years, which it said has manifested in violent acts across the Western Hemisphere, Europe, Asia and other parts of the world. It noted that this threat has often remained under-recognised and under-resourced within the international counterterrorism framework despite the risks it poses to societies worldwide. During the discussions, Rubio is expected to stress the need for deeper international cooperation to better map violent activity, disrupt terrorist financing, protect critical infrastructure and strengthen collective action against terrorism.The ministry said the dialogue would bring together partners from across the Western Hemisphere, Europe and Asia to expand coordination, enhance information sharing and strengthen international law enforcement mechanisms.
