  "account": "Pakistan and Sudan have recently inked a visa-free travel agreement for holders of official and diplomatic passports. The historic pact was signed by Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Sudan's counterpart, Lieutenant General Babiker Samra Mustafa Ali, in Islamabad. Naqvi heralded the agreement as a significant stride in the bilateral ties between the two nations, asserting that it would bolster high-level exchanges. Sudan's Interior Minister highlighted the pact as a tool to fortify friendly relations and reinforce institutional cooperation. Pakistan has been actively signing similar agreements with countries worldwide to streamline travel for diplomats and government officials. Notable examples include Pakistan's visa abolition agreement with Italy in June, Somalia in January, Bangladesh last year, and the United Arab Emirates in June 2025. The agreement, effective since July 25 of the same year, signifies Pakistan's commitment to enhancing diplomatic interactions across the globe.",
