A number of agreements between Russia and Pakistan were signed on Saturday with the goal of enhancing collaboration in the fight against transnational crimes, illegal immigration, and drug trafficking.
Agreement with Russia
On the fringes of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Interior Ministers’ Meeting in Bishkek, Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi had many high-level bilateral discussions with the interior ministers of Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan.
During Minister Naqvi’s meeting with Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev, agreements to improve cooperation between Islamabad and Moscow were reached. This was a significant development. The accords’ main objectives are to fight illegal immigration, strengthen procedures for returning citizens who are living in either nation illegally, and increase cooperation in the fight against drug trafficking and the spread of illegal drugs.
Meeting with Central Asian leaders
Talks with Ramazon Rahimzoda, the interior minister of Tajikistan, centred on the changing circumstances in Afghanistan and regional security.
Terrorist organisations and drug production in Afghanistan are major dangers to regional stability, according to both parties. The ministers concurred that in order to address these issues, coordinated regional action is required. Nearly 25 terrorist groups are presently active in Afghanistan, according to officials, endangering the security of nearby nations and the larger region.
In a different discussion with Major General Aziz Tashpulatov, the interior minister of Uzbekistan, both sides talked about boosting institutional cooperation, expanding joint training programs, and improving law enforcement agency cooperation.
Improving law enforcement
Additionally, Minister Naqvi met with Niyazbek Olan Omokanovich, the interior minister of Kyrgyzstan, and the two leaders decided to expand their collaboration in areas of shared interest.
He met with Yerzhan Sadenov, the interior minister of Kazakhstan, to explore ways to improve coordination between the two nations’ law enforcement agencies and fight illegal immigration. To improve cooperation and deal with new security issues, the two parties decided to form a joint working group.
