The Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) commemorated its tenth anniversary on Monday, marking a decade of joint institutional work dedicated to enhancing security and confronting terrorism and extremism globally.

Established in December 2015 by an initiative from Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and launched under the patronage of Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, the coalition aimed to unify the Muslim world against the transnational threat of terrorism.

A pivotal moment occurred in 2023 when Minister of Defense Prince Khalid bin Salman bin Abdulaziz assumed the chairmanship of the IMCTC Council of Ministers of Defense, marking a new phase of enhanced oversight and strategic momentum.

In February 2024, Prince Khalid reinforced this commitment by announcing SAR100 million in financial support from the Kingdom, alongside 46 specialized training scholarships for member states.

Over the past 10 years, the IMCTC has implemented an integrated operational model based on four key areas: intellectual, media, countering the financing of terrorism, and military, benefiting thousands of trainees.

IMCTC Secretary-General Major General Mohammed Al-Moghedi stressed that the anniversary is a milestone for evaluating progress and envisioning the future.

The coalition, built on continuous support from the Kingdom, will expand initiatives focusing on sustainability, knowledge transfer, and deepening partnerships to strengthen security, peace, and the values of moderation, he added.
