The alliance also aims to coordinate, unify and support the efforts of member countries in ideology, communications, and financing, as well as in the military domain in partnership with friendly countries and international organizations.
Most Muslim countries have joined the coalition, which also benefits from the support and respect of the international community.
The Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) was formed in 2015 as a unified military alliance of Muslim-majority countries to combat terrorism and extremism.
Its main goal is to coordinate efforts among member states to fight terrorism through military, ideological, and financial means, ensuring a unified approach in addressing regional and global security challenges.
The training programme in Riyadh is part of these broader efforts to enhance the skills of member states, helping them build national capacity and resilience against terrorist threats.
