According to the statement, the 2025 session will examine the growing threats in West Africa, including the spread of terrorist networks, the crime-terror nexus, and the overlap between land-based insurgencies in the Sahel and maritime piracy in the Gulf of Guinea.
“At the meeting, participants will exchange assessments of the current security landscape in West Africa and foster collaboration between regional and international partners to address cross-border security challenges.
“Participants will also develop strategies to counter the terror threat on land and the sea. The meeting will discuss ideas on how to coordinate efforts to combat online radicalisation and disrupt digital networks that facilitate terrorist propaganda and recruitment.
“In addition to attending the plenary sessions of the Aqaba meeting, President Tinubu will hold bilateral talks with other leaders to explore ways of addressing the rising security challenges across the subregion,” it added.
