Today, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi received Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Dr. Ghada Waly.
The Spokesperson for the Presidency stated that the President stressed Egypt's support for the role of the United Nations in facing global and regional challenges related to combating crime, drugs and terrorism, as well as strengthening existing efforts to exchange expertise in areas related to the Office's work, with the aim of activating United Nations programs related to drugs and crime. The President also stressed that it must be done in an integrated manner and on a global scale, in order to maintain security and stability.
Dr. Ghada Waly expressed her sincere appreciation to the President for the continuous support for the role of the organization, noting her reliance on Egypt’s continued support for its efforts during the coming period to maximize the capabilities of the international community to address the threats posed by transnational organized crime. This is also in addition to combating corruption, its negative impact on communities, crime prevention efforts, and building effective criminal justice systems.
The most prominent activities were presented on the agenda of the organization, especially the follow-up to the results of the "Sharm El-Sheikh Declaration" issued by the United Nations Convention against Corruption, which was hosted by the city of Sharm El-Sheikh in December 2021. The conference was also hosted along with the participation of more than two thousand people from governments, regional and international organizations, civil society, academia and the private sector. Dr. Ghada Waly expressed appreciation for the fruitful cooperation between the Egyptian government and the organization for organizing this global conference in light of the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, noting that it represented a global milestone in improving international cooperation against corruption and helping the world recover from the pandemic.
Dr. Ghada Waly also reviewed the axes of international cooperation under the umbrella of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, in light of the recent regional developments in Afghanistan. This is especially with regard to arms smuggling, drug trafficking, and the aggravation of terrorism and refugees.
On the other hand, she also referred to the ongoing preparations, in cooperation with the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, to organize an international conference in Egypt during 2022 on combating antiquities smuggling as one of the sources of financing terrorism and organized crime.
