ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Thursday called for a stronger partnership between law enforcement agencies worldwide to tackle shared challenges of “terrorism,” human smuggling and cybercrime, stressing the importance of adopting modern technology and training to curb crimes.
Naqvi was speaking at the United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit (UNCOPS 2026) in New York, which brought together senior ministers and police officials from across the world to discuss international peace, security and development.
Pakistan faces surging militant attacks in its northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and southwestern Balochistan provinces, and has also been trying to curb rising cases of cybercrime, human smuggling and drug trafficking.
“We must share information quickly, we must support one another, and we must build stronger partnership between our law enforcement agencies,” Naqvi told members of the conference at the UN headquarters.
“Technology is changing very fast, criminals are using new technology to commit crimes. So we must also use modern technology to prevent them and we must improve the skills of our police officers,” he added.
Naqvi stressed the importance of training to improve law and order worldwide, noting there were senior law enforcement representatives from around the world present at the UN headquarters, each one possessing valuable knowledge and practical experience in their fields.
“Let us share ideas that have worked, let us learn from each other’s successes and let us find new ways to work together,” he said. “The United Nations provides us a unique platform.”
The Pakistani minister later met United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the sidelines of the event, during which they discussed Islamabad’s mediation efforts to help end the conflict between the United States and Iran.
The two also focused on UN peacekeeping missions, with Naqvi calling “realistic mandates and adequate resources” essential for their success.
