An online seminar was held on 20-24 October 2025 as part of the Law Enforcement Training Programme on Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Financing of Terrorism for the Member States of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA). The event was organized by the Turkish International Academy against Drugs and Organized Crime (TADOC) in cooperation with the CICA Secretariat. It was attended by 46 representatives of the CICA Member States, including Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Iran, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Palestine, Qatar, and the Russian Federation.
The seminar was hosted by Türkiye in its capacity as coordinator in the priority area of new challenges and threats (general) and co-coordinator in the priority area of combating terrorism, as part of the implementation of CICA confidence building measures. The programme aims to share the best practices of Turkish law enforcement agencies with experts from the units responsible for combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism in the Member States, thereby contributing to the strengthening of their professional capacity.
During the training programme, the participants learned about modern investigative techniques, including identifying individuals and financial flows, analyzing documents, conducting financial investigations, as well as techniques for obtaining, preserving and presenting evidence. The seminar presented a detailed overview of international conventions and national legislation governing anti-money laundering and asset forfeiture.
The seminar organized by TADOC generated considerable interest and received positive feedback from the participants. The Republic of Türkiye, with its extensive experience in conducting training activities within the framework of CICA confidence building measures, continues to make a substantial contribution to strengthening the capacity of the law enforcement agencies of the Member States and to developing practical cooperation in this area.
