Pakistan and Britain have agreed to enhance cooperation in a number of fields including counter-terrorism, counter-narcotics, NADRA, cybercrime, immigration and coast guards.
The agreement reached during a visit by British Minister of State for Security Dan Jarvis to the Interior Ministry in Islamabad on Friday where he held detailed talks with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and and Minister of State Talal Chaudhry. Both ministers also held delegation-level talks.
The British minister praised the performance of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in preventing illegal immigration.
Both sides agreed that Pakistan and Britain should enhance cooperation in counter-terrorism, counter-narcotics, NADRA, cybercrime, immigration, coast guards, and training programmes.
On this occasion, the British minister maintained that cybercrime is an international problem, and all countries must work together to combat it effectively.
Dan Jarvis said there is excellent cooperation between Pakistan and the United Kingdom in various sectors, and they want to expand it further.
He also acknowledged Pakistan’s sacrifices and efforts in the war against terrorism.
Both sides also decided to soon finalise the memorandum of understanding on counter-narcotics. Collaboration between the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) and Pakistan’s Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) will be fully operationalized with the IMO in a few years, said Mohsin Naqvi.
There was also consensus during the meeting to convene meeting of the Working Group established between Pakistan and UK Home Ministries soon.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi appreciated the progress under upskill project, saying the Upskill Project is proving extremely important in enhancing the capacity of Pakistani institutions.
