The partnership between the APG and the Government of Canada has been instrumental in strengthening regional efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing across the Asia-Pacific region.
Canada has provided a voluntary contribution to the APG Secretariat which will support assessor training, technical assistance, mutual evaluations for the Global 5th Round, and the development of stronger anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing frameworks among member jurisdictions.
The funding reflects Canada’s endorsement of the G7 call to action for stronger collective action against financial crime, including greater cooperation, resilience and coordinated efforts to combat illicit financial activity.
On behalf of the membership, the APG Secretariat expresses its sincere appreciation for Canada’s voluntary contribution and ongoing support, which will continue to enhance regional capacity and strengthen financial system integrity.
