Delegates from the BRICS countries will come to Nizhny Novgorod on 24 April 2024 for a meeting of the BRICS Council on Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism. The meeting is part of the calendar of events of Russia’s BRICS Chairship.

The delegates will share experience in combatting money laundering and the financing of terrorism, and also discuss joint projects and issues concerning interaction between the relevant agencies of BRICS countries, especially in light of the terrorist attack that occurred at Moscow’s Crocus City Hall on 22 March.

The meeting will culminate with the preparation of joint measures to minimize global risks, including the financing of terrorism and combatting corruption, drug trafficking, and the use of cryptocurrency for criminal purposes.

From the Russian side, the meeting will be attended by Yury Chikhanchin, chairman of the BRICS Council on Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism and Director of the Russian Federal Financial Monitoring Service, who will deliver a welcome address.

The meeting is being held as part of the International Scientific and Practical Forum ‘Topical Issues Concerning the Combatting of Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism’.

The event programme includes a plenary session, roundtables, and discussions that will bring together heads of relevant ministries and agencies, international experts, and representatives of the scientific community in Nizhny Novgorod on 24–26 April.
