Overview
- Pakistan Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi received Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni and led delegation talks that on Wednesday produced public pledges to deepen cooperation on counter‑terrorism, counternarcotics, border security, irregular migration and human trafficking.
- Pakistan listed senior domestic security agencies at the talks, and Iran's delegation included its Sistan‑Baluchestan governor and the head of the National Iranian Oil Company, underscoring the meeting's operational and economic focus.
- Iran said the visit aims to boost transit and agricultural cooperation and to raise bilateral trade from about $3 billion toward a $10 billion target, though officials described these aims as political commitments rather than detailed binding protocols.
- Ministers stressed a joint strategy to confront threats flowing from the Pakistan‑Afghanistan‑Iran border region, a historically porous corridor used by armed groups, drug traffickers and human smugglers.
- The talks took place as US‑Iran military exchanges resumed after a fragile Pakistani‑mediated ceasefire, a context Pakistani officials say increases urgency for region‑level coordination and for translating ministerial pledges into sustained intelligence sharing and operations.
