Among the key outcomes was a call to circulate the smart traffic awareness system — developed by the Fujairah Police General Command and winner of the 2024 Prince Naif Award for Arab Security in the pioneering security programs category — to member states for implementation and benefit. Participants were also urged to actively engage in the Prince Naif Award for Arab Security competition across its three categories: pioneering security programs, security studies and security media creativity. The conference stressed the importance of strengthening coordination among traffic departments in Arab countries, and agreed to refer a proposal for the establishment of a unified Arab traffic analytical database to member states for further examination. In addition, a Libyan proposal to unify the Arab awareness discourse on traffic safety was referred for consultation, while the General Secretariat was tasked with initiating discussions with the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) to explore avenues of cooperation involving ESCWA's Arab Integrated Observatory for Traffic Safety, the General Secretariat and the Arab Office for Supporting Security Services Affairs. Delegates also reviewed best practices from several member states in traffic regulation and accident reduction. The General Secretariat was asked to circulate these experiences to facilitate knowledge sharing and to develop a consolidated vision from reports submitted by member states on their national efforts in this field. Moreover, the conference encouraged countries to utilize traffic awareness campaigns aligned with both Arab and international events. The recommendations will be submitted to the next session of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers for final approval. Kuwait chaired the conference, with participation from heads and representatives of Arab traffic departments and the Naif Arab University for Security Sciences. The Kuwaiti delegation included Brigadier Munif Al-Mutairi, Colonel Yousef Al-Haddad and First Lieutenant Nawaf Al-Mutairi. — KUNA

Arab interior ministers council urges smart traffic awareness to curb road accidents 'Majority of traffic accidents stem from human error' KUWAIT: Secretary General of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers Mohammad Koman on Wednesday called for enhancing traffic awareness and adopting smart systems to reduce road accidents and improve road safety across Arab countries.
