The meeting discussed ways to enhance cooperation among the GCC’s FIUs in combating money laundering and terrorist financing. Key areas of focus included strengthening the effectiveness of information exchange and coordination with regional and international entities involved in anti-money laundering, counterterrorism financing, and associated predicate offences. The participating delegations also reviewed and discussed key topics of mutual interest. The National Ambulance Centre, in collaboration with the Government Hospitals, held a series of awareness lectures for paramedics and personnel from the Health Affairs of the  Interior Ministry. The lectures are part of efforts to reinforce medical awareness, enhance swift and efficient response for emergencies, aligning with primary medical care procedures to enhance survival rates and reduce health complications.  In line with the Northern Governorate’s ongoing efforts to enhance services provided to needy families and improve their living conditions, Northern Governor Ali Abdulhussain Al Asfoor, accompanied by Member of the Council of Representative MP Hassan Ibrahim, visited a house in Al Qadam that was renovated under the “Bayout” renovation project. During the visit, the Governor said the initiative reflects the Governorate’s humanitarian approach through partnerships with official bodies and civil society organisations. He noted that handing over renovated homes aims to provide decent and safe housing for underprivileged families, thereby contributing to social stability and improved quality of life. He also expressed appreciation for the anonymous benefactor who supported the project.
