    The Council also ratified a Memorandum of Understanding with Saudi Arabia on cooperation in combating corruption. The Council also approved an amendment to the Law on Management of Contracts.

    In addition to the approvals, the Ministers of Defence, Internal Security, and Internal Affairs presented reports on the country's stabilization efforts, particularly in recently liberated areas.
