India trains Nepali officials on AML-CFT

On the request of Nepal government, a customised six-day training course on ‘Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism' (AML/CFT) for Nepali officers has commenced from today at the National Academy of Customs-Indirect Taxes and Narcotics (NACIN) in Faridabad of India.
According to a press note issued by the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu, the training is fully supported by the Indian government under the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation Programme. “It is yet another example of the Indian government’s commitment to supporting the capacity development of Nepali officers.”
The 20 Nepali officers from various departments and ministries are taking part in the training, it reads, adding that a total of 60 officers from various regulatory agencies in Nepal will be trained under this latest initiative.
The next two batches of 20 officers each will be trained at NACIN in October and December 2019, the note reads, adding that the initiative is likely to enhance the capacities of agencies of Nepal on the matters of Anti Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism.
NACIN is the apex training institution of the Government of India in the field of financial investigations and anti money laundering matters.
