This call was made by Ambassador Nancy Abdulla Jamal, Chief of the Strategic Affairs Department at the Foreign Ministry, during a session held at the UN Headquarters in New York, USA. Ambassador Jamal emphasised the importance of using terminologies that are suitable for different languages and cultures, as it would greatly contribute to collectively and efficiently confronting future threats.
These remarks were made as part of the eighth review of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, which took place at the UN Headquarters in New York.
Ambassador Jamal further highlighted the success of regional efforts in establishing viable standards that are culturally appropriate.
