RIYADH: A Saudi delegation led by Attorney General Sheikh Saud bin Abdullah Al-Mua’jab participated in the 28th Annual Conference and General Meeting of the International Association of Prosecutors, which took place in London from Sept. 24-27.

The four-day event, which gathered public prosecution delegations from around the world, was themed “The Changing Nature of Crime in the 21st Century: Challenges and Responses.”

It examined strategies for countering transnational crimes, including terrorism and human trafficking, mutual legal aid procedures, and criminal extradition requests.

Al-Mua’jab met with his British counterpart Victoria Prentis, and Max Hill, director of public prosecutions, to discuss judicial cooperation, Saudi Press Agency reported. He also held bilateral meetings with a number of public representatives to propose ways to collaborate to improve judicial work mechanisms, emphasizing the Kingdom's expertise in digitizing criminal justice procedures.

Al-Mua’jab also met with UK Minister of State for the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia and the UN Lord Tariq Ahmad to review relations between the two countries.
