Member of the Transitional Sovereignty Council, Lieutenant General Engineer Ibrahim Jaber, chaired today (Thursday) in Khartoum the second meeting of the High-Level Committee overseeing Sudan’s efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, with all committee members in attendance.

The meeting reviewed the outcomes and deliberations of the committee’s first meeting, assigned tasks, and the work and reports of its subcommittees. It also heard reports from the relevant authorities responsible for combating money laundering and terrorist financing, according to a press circular issued by the media office of the Transitional Sovereignty Council.

Ambassador Jaafar Soumi, representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in a press statement that the meeting reviewed a report on Sudan’s status regarding the implementation of targeted financial sanctions, particularly those related to money laundering and terrorist financing.

He explained that the meeting reaffirmed Sudan’s commitment to and cooperation with the resolutions and decisions of the UN Security Council, as well as the international community, particularly in efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

He added that the Sudanese people have suffered greatly during the war from violations, the looting of their property, the smuggling of the country’s resources abroad, and the inflation associated with money laundering and terrorist financing.
