DUBAI: Just weeks ahead of the international conference “Sanctions, AML and CFT for Banking and Finance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” to be held in Riyadh on Oct. 21–22, 2025, French Senator Nathalie Goulet, in an interview with Arab News en français, praised Saudi Arabia’s ambition and commitment to combating money laundering and financial crime.
“Saudi Arabia was an early leader in the ‘No Money for Terror’ initiative. The country is capable, and above all, it has a strong leader and a clear vision,” the senator stated.
A firm political will
For Nathalie Goulet, the Kingdom’s transformation is undeniable.
“From the moment Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman came to power, he addressed corruption issues head-on. He instilled a new political direction and determination,” she said.
