KUWAIT, April 20 (KUNA) -- Taking advantage of other countries experiences in fighting money laundering and financing of terrorism is one of the ways to overcome obstacles against development, said Minister of Commerce and Industry and Acting Minister of State for Youth Affairs Khaled Al-Roudan Thursday.
During his speech at the opening of a workshop organized by Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Terrorist Department in cooperation with the US Department of the Treasury, Al-Roudan said the ministry has followed the best international ways to face this phenomenon by setting up specialized courses and awareness programs.
Terrorism is not far from us and the Imam Al-Sadiq mosque incident was the best example, it is possible that terrorism will affect any of us due to the evolution of terrorist groups, he added.
The minister took the chance to thank the US Department of Treasury for its cooperation in organizing the event, affirming that Kuwait was looking forward for more mutual ventures in the future. (end)
