Truth and understanding
The Media Line's intrepid correspondents are in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Pakistan providing first-person reporting.
They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
Kuwait’s Defense Minister Sheikh Abdullah Ali Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah chaired the two-day summit, which brought together interior ministers from across the Arab world, security experts, and representatives from regional and global organizations, including Portugal.
The council’s general secretariat emphasized that the new measures are expected to strengthen Arab security cooperation by addressing the growing threats posed by drug trafficking, cyber threats, and organized criminal networks.
With security challenges evolving across the region, these initiatives reflect broader efforts by Arab nations to modernize and enhance law enforcement capabilities. The next phase involves implementing these strategies at the national level through coordinated regional efforts.
