Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met with Acting U.S. Ambassador Natalie Baker to discuss strengthening bilateral ties and enhancing cooperation between the two countries. During the meeting, both sides agreed on U.S. assistance in modernizing Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to match the capabilities of the FBI.

Minister Naqvi highlighted the long-standing and strong relationship between Pakistan and the U.S., emphasizing the goal to transform FIA into a modern, high-tech agency. He welcomed U.S. support for this initiative, particularly in improving Pakistan’s National Forensic Agency to meet current standards.

Both sides also discussed increasing the representation of women in law enforcement and security agencies in Pakistan, with the U.S. offering cooperation in this regard.

Naqvi underscored that enhancing the capacity of law enforcement agencies is critical for Pakistan, particularly equipping civilian armed forces with advanced tools and technologies. He reiterated that no foreign nationals with legal documents would be expelled from Islamabad, while illegal immigrants would not be allowed to stay in the capital.

Ambassador Baker expressed her condolences over the recent deaths of police and Rangers personnel in Islamabad, offering support for Pakistan’s upcoming hosting of the ICC Champions Trophy.

Deputy Chief of Mission Natalie A. Baker joined U.S. Mission in Islamabad in July this year. Prior to assuming the duties of Deputy Chief of Mission at U.S. Embassy Islamabad, Natalie served as Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Doha, Qatar.
