Cote d'Ivoire's Minister of Digital Transition and Digitalization Ibrahim Kalil Konate and the coalition's secretary-general, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Al-Moghedi, attended the event, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
This strategic initiative, the first of its kind in Abidjan, seeks to enhance the capabilities of participants from relevant institutions in addressing terrorism financing and money-laundering challenges.
The program features intensive courses and workshops led by international experts, covering international laws on combating money laundering and terrorism financing, the SPA reported.
Earlier, Brig. Gen. Alah Kouame Joseph, commander of the International Academy for Counter-Terrorism, welcomed Al-Moghedi and his delegation in Abidjan.
Both sides discussed areas of mutual cooperation in counterterrorism, the SPA said.
Al-Moghedi was briefed on the academy's training capabilities, educational resources and technical expertise in providing a high-level response to terrorist threats.

Arab, Islamic foreign ministers condemn Netanyahu's ‘Greater Israel' remark
RIYADH: The foreign ministers of Arab and Muslim nations on Saturday denounced statements about a "Greater Israel" that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reported to have made in the wake of pronouncements by his far-right allies to annex Palestinian territories. In a joint statement, the ministers said the pronouncements by Netanyahu and his ministers were "a blatant and dangerous violation" of international law. "They also constitute a direct threat to Arab national security, to the sovereignty of states, and to regional and international peace and security," said the statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency, or SPA.

UK police seize Andrew Tate's $240,000 Aston Martin deposit
UK police said Friday they had seized a £180,000 ($240,000) deposit misogynist influencer Andrew Tate put down on an Aston Martin supercar amid allegations of unpaid taxes and money laundering. The amount paid towards the Aston Martin Valhalla car will be added to a pot of £2.7 million already seized from Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan in December 2024. Devon and Cornwall police in southwest England last year won a legal bid to seize the deposit, paid by Andrew Tate in July 2021 from a cryptocurrency account. The Tate brothers did not oppose the police's decision to pursue the funds, half of which can now be distributed to 'good causes' while the other half will be spent on public services. A London court was told the funds used to pay the deposit 'were the proceeds of tax and VAT evasion and money laundering,' according to a statement by the police. Passing judgement in the civil fraud case last year, Judge Paul Goldspring, who also presided over the latest order, said the influencer brothers, who have millions of followers on social media, had 'engaged in long-standing conduct to evade their tax.' Andrew Tate often boasts online about his multi-million-dollar supercar collection, which forms a key part of his persona promoting toxic masculinity and hustle culture. In an X post earlier this month, he claimed to own 93 cars. He moved to Romania years ago after first starting a webcam business and then became a reality TV star in the UK. Tate later turned to social media platforms to promote his divisive views, including misogynistic and sometimes violent maxims. The Tate brothers face allegations of trafficking minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering in Romania. They also face rape and assault allegations in separate cases in Britain, with a civil trial due in June 2026. The brothers, who have British-US nationality, have denied all accusations.
