US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and her Qatari counterpart Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa al-Thani on Sunday signed a bilateral security accord to boost bilateral co-operation.
"Homeland security does not begin at America's borders - it starts with our international partnerships to detect and deter terrorists and other individuals who pose a threat to citizens around the world," Napolitano said on inking the letter of intent, according to a statement from her department.
"This agreement will help us expand collaboration with Qatar in order to better protect the citizens of both nations against the evolving threats we face," she said.
The accord is aimed at bolstering information sharing about people with ties to terrorism and serious crime; tightening passenger screening at airports; and sharing methods of document screening, behaviour detection and efforts to combat bulk cash smuggling and money laundering,
It also includes new efforts at increasing co-operation on international aviation security, cybersecurity, disaster response and emergency preparedness, US officials said. Napolitano's visit to Doha followed stops in Ireland and Afghanistan, where she met with top Afghan officials including President Hamid Karzai.
There are currently 25 staff from the Department of Homeland Security working to help boost security in Afghanistan. A further 52 ex-customs and border protection or border patrol officers are arriving to work on related projects.
Karzai and Napolitano also discussed efforts to disrupt the trafficking of chemicals which militants use to manufacture deadly improvised explosive devices (IEDs), her office added.
