“No country is immune to these challenges and no nation can address them alone,” says Naqvi.
NEW YORK,:
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has called for deeper international cooperation among law enforcement agencies to counter the growing threat of transnational crime and terrorism, stressing that no country could face the current security challenges alone.
Addressing the United Nations Police Chiefs Summit (UNCOPS) in New York, Naqvi welcomed ministers, police chiefs and distinguished delegates from around the world, describing the meeting as an important platform to strengthen global security cooperation.
He said the world faces a number of shared security challenges that transcend national borders, including terrorism, organized crime, cybercrime, drug trafficking, human trafficking and money laundering. These threats, he noted, affected all countries regardless of their geography, making collective action imperative.
“No country is immune to these challenges and no nation can address them alone,” Naqvi said, emphasizing that international cooperation has become more important than ever.
The Home Secretary urged countries to work together through greater trust, timely intelligence sharing and mutual support. He underlined the need to establish stronger partnerships between law enforcement agencies to improve the global response to increasingly sophisticated criminal networks.
Naqvi highlighted the rapid pace of technological change and warned that criminal groups are exploiting emerging technologies to expand their operations. He said governments and police organizations must adopt advanced technologies to counter evolving threats while investing in the professional development of police personnel.
He emphasized that strengthening training programs and embracing innovation would improve the ability of law enforcement agencies to effectively address modern security challenges.
Naqvi noted that the summit had brought together experienced leaders from around the world, each of whom possessed valuable knowledge and practical experience. He encouraged participants to exchange ideas, learn from each other’s successes and identify new avenues for collaboration.
Describing the United Nations as a unique platform to foster international cooperation, he thanked UN Police Advisor Faisal Shakar for providing an opportunity for police leaders and their counterparts from different countries to meet and participate.
The minister said the summit united participating nations around the shared goal of making their countries safer, protecting their citizens and strengthening peace and security around the world. He described the meeting as a significant step towards building stronger international partnerships to address common security threats.

The UN Secretary General appreciated Pakistan’s efforts to promote peace, according to a press release issued here.
On the occasion, Naqvi said that despite numerous challenges, Pakistan had acted responsibly to promote regional peace and stability and safeguard human lives under the leadership of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
