The "September 11" tragedy triggered global security concerns and world security experts believe improving the quality of security services will make a big difference to world security and to global economic development.
With this as a background, an international forum on the development of security services opened on Sunday in Suzhou.
The three-day forum is focusing on topics such as China's opportunities and challenges in the security service sector after its World Trade Organization (WTO) entry, the situation and structure of China's security service sector and how to make China's security service more market-oriented and international.
About 100 experts, scholars and business representatives from home and abroad are attending the forum. They are calling for intensification of international communication on the topic of how to improve the quality of security services so that there will be international attention paid to the issue.
