A Bahraini delegation, led by Ambassador Nancy Abdulla Jamal, the Chief of Strategic Affairs at the Foreign Affairs Ministry, participated in in the 18th meeting of the Global Coalition against Daesh’s Counter ISIS Finance Group (CIFG).
Specialists and experts in combating the financing of terrorism and money laundering took part in meeting which was held in Saudi Arabia.
Addressing the meeting, Minister Jamal indicated that these cross-border crimes now pose a threat to the whole world, in light of the technical developments and open ports resulting from the rapid pace of platform development.
She reiterated the kingdom’s firm stance in rejecting all forms of terrorism, whatever their causes and motives, stressing Bahrain’s commitment to its foreign policy that calls for spreading a culture of security, peace and peaceful coexistence, as well as to its international and regional agreements and treaties to eliminate these dangers.
She also asserted that Bahrain gives priority to putting in place the infrastructure capable of preventing and addressing crimes related to terrorism and its financing, at the national level and in cooperation with regional and international partners.
This includes training national cadres and preparing an integrated security, political, and legal system to maintain the security of the Kingdom and the region as a whole, she said, praising the role of partnership based on common goals, and the efforts being made to inform experts and those concerned about the ever-changing issues and directions of terrorist financiers, such as the expansion of Daesh’s use of virtual currencies in Asia and tracking down the map of Daesh influence in Africa to understand the emerging trends of terrorist threats and to preserve the security and stability of the international community.
