In an opening speech, Assistant Commissioner (Crime) Lo Yik-kee highlighted the importance of terrorist financing investigation. "Financial investigation is particularly applicable to tackling terrorist activities since cutting off the financial sources of terrorists would effectively thwart their activities," he noted.

In the first-day session, speakers from each law enforcement agency spoke of the current terrorist financing issues and shared techniques in terrorist financing investigation. In the second-day session, participants held in-depth discussions on a number of terrorist financing issues, including bulk cash smuggling and terrorist financing via non-profit-making organisations, financial institutions and non-traditional entities.

At the conclusion of the seminar, all participants considered the seminar an effective platform for sharing experiences and discussing multi-jurisdictional and multi-agency approaches against terrorist financing.

Participants regard the seminar as an effective forum for experience-sharing
