“No country is immune to these challenges, and no nation can tackle them alone,” says Naqvi
NEW YORK,:
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has called for deeper international cooperation between law enforcement agencies to counter the growing threat of transnational crime and terrorism, stressing that no country could tackle the current security challenges alone.
Addressing the United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit (UNCOPS) in New York, Naqvi welcomed ministers, police chiefs and distinguished delegates from around the world, describing the gathering as an important platform to strengthen global security cooperation.
He said the world faces a series of common security challenges that transcend national borders, including terrorism, organized crime, cybercrime, drug trafficking, human trafficking and money laundering. These threats, he stressed, affect all countries, regardless of their geography, making collective action imperative.
“No country is immune from these challenges, and no nation can address them alone,” Naqvi said, emphasizing that international cooperation has become more important than ever.
The Interior Minister urged countries to work together through greater trust, rapid intelligence sharing and mutual support. He highlighted the need for stronger partnerships between law enforcement agencies to improve the global response to increasingly sophisticated criminal networks.
Highlighting the rapid pace of technological evolution, Naqvi warned that criminal groups were exploiting emerging technologies to expand their operations. He said governments and police organizations must adopt cutting-edge technologies to counter evolving threats, while investing in the professional development of police personnel.
He stressed that strengthening training programs and embracing innovation would enhance the capacity of law enforcement agencies to effectively address today’s security challenges.
Naqvi noted that the summit brought together experienced leaders from around the world, each with valuable knowledge and practical expertise. 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 engage.
The minister said the summit united the participating nations around a common goal of making their countries safer, protecting their citizens and strengthening global peace and security. He described the meeting as an important step towards building stronger international partnerships to address common security threats.
