Kingdom backs UN Terror Center with 6M
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced a financial contribution of $6 million to support the programs of the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Center. This announcement was made during a meeting with UN Secretary-General António Guterres on the sidelines of the General Assembly proceedings. The allocated funds, covering a four-year period beginning with the 2027 fiscal year, aim to enhance the Center’s capabilities in developing training and capacity-building programs to combat extremism and its sources, reaffirming Saudi Arabia’s role in supporting international efforts to counter terrorism. This contribution is part of a history of Saudi financial support for the Center, having previously contributed $110 million toward its establishment, as well as funding various projects such as the “Arab Strategy for Counter-Terrorism” with an amount of $300,000. These actions reflect Riyadh’s ongoing commitment to confronting the terrorist phenomenon at both regional and international levels.
