October 03, 2024

Pakistan and Australia have agreed to enhance cooperation to counter-human trafficking.

The consensus to this effect was reached during a meeting between Minister for Interior Mohsin Naqvi and Australian High Commissioner Neil Hawkins in Islamabad today.

Interior Minister said a team deployed to counter-human trafficking is working day and night to prevent human smuggling to Australia and other countries.

He said efforts are being made to enhance the capacity of the Federal Investigation Agency in this regard.

Australian High Commissioner Neil Hawkins offered Pakistan to benefit from Australia's modern border management techniques and equipment.

Both sides agreed to hold the meeting of Joint Working Group in Australia in December.
