Joint security measures will be adopted at the summit to protect the sea from pirates, terrorists and militants in some affected countries.
The Lomé summit on maritime security and development in Africa according to the organisers will  take strong and encouraging decisions to restrict the scope of bandits operating with impunity in African waters and indulging in human trafficking through smugglers.
