Egyptian Social Solidarity Minister Dr. Ghada Wali has lauded the efforts of Naif Arab University for Security Sciences to combat terrorism.
Wali also commended the Saudi university’s support for the Council of Arab Ministers of Social Affairs, whose executive office she heads.
She called for the strengthening of the role of Arab information ministers and media institutions in the counterterrorism campaign.
She said the recommendations of the first meeting of senior officials responsible for implementing the decisions of the Arab Summit in Jordan on terrorism and social development were presented at the first meeting of the Supreme Council for Combating Terrorism and Extremism in Egypt.
The council meeting was held on Thursday under the chairmanship of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
The university participated in the first meeting of senior Arab officials, represented by its President Dr. Jumban Rashid bin Raqouch.
The officials decided to form a team that will formulate a plan that includes proposals submitted by Arab countries to implement the declaration on “Supporting Arab Action to Eliminate Terrorism.”
The team comprises the university, the Arab Labor Organization, the technical secretariat of Arab information ministers and relevant research centers. The plan includes specialized programs, events, training workshops and research proposals for a maximum time span of two years.
It was decided to hold the second meeting of senior officials on Oct. 24 and 25 to discuss the team’s output.
