WASHINGTON /Â WAM
The UAE appreciates the United States administration’s clear policy against extremism and terrorism, and its understanding of relevant regional consequences, said Dr Anwar bin Mohammed Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
”The war against terrorism requires concerted, united and focussed efforts and co-operation from both countries and civilised communities,” Dr. Gargash said in an intervention during the Ministerial Plenary for the Global Coalition Working to Defeat Daesh, which concluded in Washington on Wednesday night, with participation from 68 foreign ministers of coalition member states.
Dr Gargash, who led the UAE’s delegation to the meeting, highlighted the intellectual approach to countering terrorism. He spoke about the UAE’s role and its multidimensional, counter-messaging and ideological narrative initiatives in this respect.
The minister also stressed the importance of sustaining the national, politically inclusive process, and tracking in Iraq and Syrian in the post-Daesh era. Foreign ministers of the global coalition met in Washington at the invitation of the United States to review and accelerate the military campaign for the defeat of Daesh.
