Prince Mohammed bin Salman opened the first high-level meeting of the coalition under the theme of ?Allied against Terrorism?. ?In past years, terrorism has been functioning in all of our countries... with no coordination? among national authorities, Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), who is also the Saudi defence minister, said in his keynote speech. ?This ends today, with this alliance.? He said that Sunday?s meeting sends ?a strong signal that we are going to work together and coordinate together to support each other.? ?The biggest danger of this terrorism and extremism is the tarnishing of our beloved religion?s reputation [...] We will not allow this to happen,? said the royal who has been the driving force behind this coalition. ?Today, we start the pursuit of terrorism and we see its defeat in many facets around the world, especially in Muslim countries. We will continue to fight it until we see its defeat.? The Crown Prince also offered his condolences to Egypt, which suffered an attack on Friday by Islamic militants on a mosque in northern Sinai that killed 305 people. ?This is indeed a painful event and it is a recurrent and strong reminder the dangers of this terrorism,? he said. The alliance excludes Iran as well as Syria and Iraq, whose leaders have close ties to Tehran. Sunday´s meeting coincides with an escalation in tensions between Riyadh and Tehran, particularly over wars in Syria and Yemen and the political structure of Lebanon. The alliance meeting in Riyadh brings together Muslim or Muslim-majority nations including Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Afghanistan, Uganda, Somalia, Mauritania, Lebanon, Libya, Yemen and Turkey. Pakistani General (retired) Raheel Sharif has been appointed commander-in-chief. Distorted image of Islam: The alliance aims to ?mobilise and coordinate the use of resources, facilitate the exchange of information and help member countries build their own counter-terrorism capacity,? Raheel said. He said the alliance?s sole objective was to counter terrorism and it was not against any country or sect. ?All individual states are making efforts against the menace of terrorism, but the required level of synergy and resources is lacking,? he said. ?The IMCTC will support its partners mainly through intelligence sharing and capacity building,? he added. He noted that the Muslim world had suffered the most because of terrorism and in the last six years alone, more than 70 per cent of all deaths attributed to terrorism, had occurred in Muslim countries. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Saudi Crown Prince vows to wipe terror from earth || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
