The UAE, represented by the Ministry of Interior, has won the Best Operational Field Information Cooperation Award at the Arab, regional, and international levels for the seventh time. This prestigious accolade, issued by the General Secretariat of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers, recognizes the UAE’s significant efforts to enhance joint Arab cooperation, facilitate the exchange of information, and its extensive work in combating drug-related crimes.
Dr. Mohamed bin Koman, Secretary-General of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers, presented the award to Brigadier General Abdulrahman Al Owais, Deputy Director General of the Federal Anti-Narcotics Department at the Ministry of Interior.
