Chancellor Dr. Hamad Saif Al Shamsi, UAE Attorney-General, stressed that his recent official visit to the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation facilitated detailed consultations, enabling both sides to review best practices in public prosecution and the latest legislative developments. Dr. Al Shamsi commended the outcomes of the visit, hailing it as an opportunity to strengthen cooperation.
At the conclusion of his visit, Dr. Al Shamsi said that the UAE and Russia had set a leading global model for upholding the rule of law, efficient legal and judicial systems, and safeguarding human rights.
He underscored the robust bilateral relations between the two nations across legal, cultural, and economic fields, fostered by the leadership's commitment to peace, security, and global stability. Both leaders are dedicated to promoting justice, supporting humanitarian causes, nurturing peaceful coexistence, and bolstering cooperation in legal and judicial domains worldwide.
During the visit, Dr. Al Shamsi met with Igor Krasnov, Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, in the presence of Dr. Mohammed Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Ambassador to the Russian Federation.
Discussions centred on enhancing cooperation between the public prosecutions, bolstering coordination on mutual concerns, combating various crimes, especially terrorism and cross-border organised crime, and safeguarding human rights pursuant to international and bilateral agreements.
A Memorandum of Understanding, signed by the Public Prosecution and the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation in December 2021, is a cornerstone for strengthening collaboration.
The MoU aims to facilitate the exchange of expertise and best practices, and foster continuous consultations, joint conferences, and workshops.
Moreover, it promotes sharing research outcomes in criminal investigation, criminology, and relevant data, and leveraging modern technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to streamline criminal justice processes.
