The Qatari International Search and Rescue Group has made history by becoming the first Arab team to train and certify another Arab team, Egypt's Search and Rescue Team, for international classification. Egypt's team has achieved a "Medium" rating from the International Search and Rescue Advisory Group (INSARAG), a UN organization.

A delegation from Qatari search and rescue, led by Brigadier Mubarak Sherida al-Kaabi, attended the announcement in Cairo, alongside Egypt's Assistant Minister of Interior for the civil protection sector, Major General Amr Mustafa El-Baily. They were joined by security officials from both countries and representatives from INSARAG.

During the ceremony, the delegation discussed further cooperation in security training and search and rescue efforts. Egypt's Assistant Minister commended Qatari group's role as an internationally recognized mentor and emphasized the importance of continued collaboration to strengthen the joint Arab search and rescue system.
