Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi has underlined the importance of strengthening border security and regional cooperation to combat cross-border crime, saying that collective efforts are essential for building a more peaceful world.
Speaking at a meeting of interior ministers and public security officials of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in China on Friday, Naqvi said effective border management remained a key element in preventing transnational crime and ensuring regional stability.
The Interior minister stressed that practical measures were necessary to enhance border security and address emerging challenges faced by countries across the region.
The federal interior minister reassured the globe that Pakistan was fully committed to contributing constructively to international peace and security efforts.
Mohsin Naqvi reaffirmed that Pakistan respects the sovereignty of all nations and remains determined to play a positive role on the global stage. He added that member states should learn from one another’s experiences and work together to address common security concerns.
Describing the SCO as an important platform for cooperation, he said the organisation provided member countries with an effective mechanism for strengthening border security and promoting coordinated action against shared threats.
The minister emphasised that collective efforts through the SCO framework were essential for improving regional security and achieving long-term peace and stability.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, established in 2001 by China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, has grown into one of the world’s largest regional political, economic and security organisations, covering a vast area of Eurasia and representing a significant proportion of the global population.
