GCC-US workshop to explore legal frameworks
Riyadh - Arab Today
A joint workshop between the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the US opened here on Monday to explore the legal framework and process necessary to apply classifications related to terrorist groups.
Ahmed Al-Kaabi, a spokesman at the GCC General Secretariat, said the workshop was attended by representatives from member states’ ministries of foreign affairs, interior, justice and finance, as well as central banks and their counterparts from relevant US departments.
Specialists from the Gulf states, the US and the GCC General Secretariat participated in the workshop, which will conclude on Tuesday with resolutions aimed at enhancing cooperation against terrorism.
Abdulaziz Hamad Aluwaisheq, GCC assistant secretary-general for political affairs and negotiations, said the two-day workshop comes within the framework of prior operations and joint work carried out between the GCC and the US to combat terrorism.
He added that the workshop was organized as a result of the successful outcomes of the first GCC-US Summit at Camp David in 2015, and the second summit in Riyadh in 2016.
