Pakistan, Lebanon to boost security cooperation

Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met with his Lebanese counterpart, Ahmad Al-Hajjar, at the Ministry of Interior in Islamabad. The two ministers agreed to strengthen security cooperation, counterterrorism efforts, anti-narcotics initiatives, and anti-money laundering measures. Both sides committed to sharing intelligence and implementing existing agreements to combat terrorism and emerging security threats.

They also discussed visa-free entry for the holders of diplomatic and official passports between the two nations. Lebanese Interior Minister Ahmad Al-Hajjar visited Pakistan and met with Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, reaffirming Pakistan's support for Lebanon's sovereignty. Dar discussed regional matters with Ambassador Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and a candidate for UN Secretary-General.

Both agreed that the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) would be the best way to address regional tensions. Dar chaired a meeting to review the program for the upcoming 81st UN General Assembly Session, which included high-level engagements, bilateral meetings, and other key activities.
