Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have officially launched the Pakistan-Saudi Police Training program to enhance cooperation between law enforcement agencies of both countries. This initiative marks a significant step in strengthening security collaboration and sharing best practices for police and paramilitary training.
The agreement was finalized during a high-level meeting in Riyadh between Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Saudi Interior Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif. Both officials emphasized the importance of institutional coordination, skill development, and improved joint operations in areas such as counter-terrorism, crime prevention, and border security.
The next session of the Pakistan–Saudi Arabia Interior Ministries Working Group is scheduled for next month to review progress and implement new training initiatives. The program is designed to exchange knowledge, share modern policing techniques, and enhance the capacity of personnel from both nations.
During the meeting, Prince Abdulaziz extended condolences over the recent attack on the Federal Constabulary Headquarters in Peshawar and acknowledged the sacrifices of Pakistani security personnel. Discussions also included the legal status of Rohingya Muslims in Saudi Arabia and ways to strengthen the bilateral relationship between the two countries.
Experts say the Pakistan-Saudi Police Training initiative will improve institutional efficiency, enhance international cooperation in law enforcement, and provide opportunities for personnel development in paramilitary and police forces. By sharing expertise and modern training techniques, both nations aim to respond more effectively to security challenges while reinforcing trust and collaboration.
