“The ministry has also built a close relationship with the security agencies which trust it to responsibly handle security data.

The special adviser said that ‘’the Security Incidents Report for the Third Quarter 2021 continues the pattern of transparency initiated with the daily security updates, and provides facts-based assessment of the security challenges the state confronts.’’

“The presentation of the report will be attended by officials from the military, police and other security agencies and guests from academia, civil society, the media and members of the diplomatic corps,’’ he added.
