“Forensic science is a constantly and dynamically developing area. It must be flexible and respond immediately to any changes in our life. In conditions of globalization, new ways and means of committing criminal acts are emerging. It is possible to effectively counter these things by joining our efforts. That’s why a forensic expert needs to keep abreast of world events connected with his profession, be aware of the latest scientific developments and constantly cooperate with foreign colleagues. The State Committee is always open for long-term fruitful cooperation, mutual exchange of research results, knowledge and opinions”, – the Chairman of the State Forensic Examination Committee Alexey Volkov noted in his welcoming speech.

Today the Committee takes a significant place in the system of ensuring the national security of the Republic of Belarus and makes an essential contribution to the protection of the rights of citizens and the national interests of the country”.
During the plenary session of the Conference, a discussion of new approaches to the development of the National Security Concept with the participation of the Head of the Information and Analytical Department of the State Secretariat of the Security Council of the Republic of Belarus Alexey Bankovsky took place.
