Pakistan and US have agreed to strengthen and enhance collaboration in bilateral security and border management.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi held a meeting with a high-level US delegation led by US Chargé d’Affaires Natalie Baker.
During the meeting, matters relating to the establishment of a centre for crime and an academy within the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) with US support also came under review.
Naqvi stated that modern technology would enhance the capacity of border security agencies and coastal guards.
He also welcomed US assistance in the reorganisation of the Federal Constabulary and in strengthening the capabilities of the FIA and the NCCIA. He added that US support in activating FIA’s counterterrorism wing would prove highly beneficial, making it the first federal anti-terrorist wing with effective coordination with provinces.
Pakistan and US share strong ties
In 2025, Trump hosted CDF and COAS Field Marshal Asim Munir at the White House for a historic lunch; it was the first time that a sitting US president formally received Pakistan’s army chief. The meeting came amid growing tensions with India, following Trump’s statement that he personally intervened to stop the May conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
