Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, Saudi Arabia’s crown prince and defense minister, will open the inaugural meeting of the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) Ministers of Defense Council, to be held in Riyadh on Nov. 26.

 

The meeting marks the official launch of the 41-nation pan-Islamic coalition’s operations in Riyadh, said Lieutenant General Abdulelah Al-Saleh, IMCTC acting secretary general, quoted in a statement by the Saudi information ministry.

 

“The Center provides an open platform for willing IMCTC member countries to exchange best practices and coordinate their counterterrorism efforts, enabling culturally appropriate regional and local solutions to counter terrorism,” he added.

 

The IMCTC inaugural meeting will include statements by defense ministers of IMCTC member countries, as well as keynote speeches under the group’s four domains: Ideology, Communications, Counter Terrorist Financing, and Military.
