Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Strengthening regional cooperation through increased private sector participation is crucial for creating a healthy financial system and ensuring security in the region, Eastern and Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group (ESAAMLG) Council of Ministers President and Ethiopia\u2019s Finance Minister Ahmed Shide said.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia is currently hosting the 50th ESAAMLG Task Force of Senior Officials Meeting, the 25th Council of Ministers Meeting, and the 8th Government and Private Sector Dialogue Forum.<\/p>\n

The 25th ESAAMLG Council of Ministers Meeting began at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) headquarters today.<\/p>\n

Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh, Botswana\u2019s Deputy President Ndaba Nkosinathi, Finance Minister Ahmed Shide, ESAAMLG Executive Secretary Fiakal Zita, Financial Intelligence Service Director-General Muluken Amare and other officials and experts from various countries are attending the event.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the occasion, Finance Minister Ahmed Shide said the platform is beneficial for all member countries and the region.<\/p>\n

He noted that ESAAMLG believes that it is everyone\u2019s responsibility to prevent money laundering and fraud as well as financing of terrorism.<\/p>\n

According to him, preventing money laundering and the financing of terrorism would ensure regional security and attract reliable investment.<\/p>\n

While many countries are performing well within the ESAAMLG framework, the Minister acknowledged that some still face limitations.<\/p>\n

To achieve the group\u2019s vision, he stressed the need to strengthen regional cooperation to break the chain of criminal activities.<\/p>\n

Moreover, enhancing public-private partnership to strengthen regional unity is essential, Ahmed added.<\/p>\n

The Minister further affirmed that Ethiopia will continue to strengthen its collaborative and cooperative efforts to achieve ESAAMLG\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n
