In a landmark move to tackle global crime, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan have signed a memorandum aimed at intensifying cooperation on complex criminal investigations. Saudi Attorney General Sheikh Saud Al-Mujib met Uzbekistan’s Prosecutor General Nigmatilla Yuldashev in Tashkent, where the two nations sealed an agreement with a sharp focus on tackling terrorism, its funding, and money laundering, with a special emphasis on organized crime.
This cooperation extends beyond immediate investigative work. The memorandum outlines a commitment to share intelligence, exchange research, and organize joint forums, strengthening a legal bridge between Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan. Saudi Ambassador Yousef Saleh Algahrah was also present, underscoring the high-level backing for this partnership.
The visit by Al-Mujib marks a significant boost to the judicial relations between these nations, setting a collaborative framework that not only enhances crime prevention but also elevates both countries’ practices to meet international standards in law enforcement.
