"We are committed to actively participate in joint GCC initiatives that seek to elevate the standards of volunteerism and relief work across the region."
Looking ahead, Mr. Al-Hadi added that the BRCS will work to implement the conference’s recommendations. These initiatives will focus on enhancing the capabilities of volunteers and staff in digital humanitarian communication and the safe, innovative application of AI, ensuring these modern technologies are effectively and sustainably integrated into the Society’s future strategies.
