The Fourth Dushanbe Conference kicked off in Kuwait Monday under the title “Strengthening International Counter-Terrorism Cooperation and Building Agile Broader Security Mechanisms – The Kuwait Phase of the Dushanbe Process.” The two-day high-level conference brings together more than 450 participants, including 33 ministers, representatives of UN specialized agencies, 23 international and regional organizations, and 13 civil society organizations. This conference comes as a follow-up of the “Dushanbe process for combating terrorism” and its financing, launched by Tajikistan in 2018, and is the fourth conference of that process after previous conferences held in Dushanbe, in 2018, 2019, and 2022. The conference represents a pivotal platform to enhance regional and international cooperation on border security to combat terrorism and its financing. It also provides an opportunity to exchange experiences and visions, discuss lessons learned from common challenges and ways to confront threats arising from terrorism. The conference will conclude its work Tuesday, with the adoption of the “Kuwait Declaration on Border Security and Management,” which will reflect the discussions, opinions and viewpoints of the participants and will serve as a guiding document for efforts to combat terrorism and build capacity in the field of border security. Kuwait hosts the conference based on its commitment to its international and regional role in combating terrorism and its financing, and its support for all international and regional efforts aiming to eliminate this phenomenon which negatively affects international and regional security.
