Pakistan Announces Special Protection Unit for Chinese Citizens in Islamabad<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Federal Interior Minister<\/a> Mohsin Naqvi on Wednesday announced the establishment of a special protection unit in Islamabad to ensure the security of Chinese citizens, reaffirming that their safety remains a top priority for Pakistan.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made during Naqvi\u2019s visit to the headquarters of China\u2019s Ministry of Public Security, where he met Chinese Interior Minister Wang Xiaohong. The two leaders held an extensive three-and-a-half-hour meeting focused on Pakistan-China relations, counterterrorism cooperation, police training exchanges, and other areas of mutual interest.<\/p>\n

Both sides agreed that the joint working group on internal security would convene every three months, while annual meetings between the interior ministers of both countries would also be held. They emphasized the importance of enhanced coordination to further strengthen bilateral cooperation.<\/p>\n

Minister Wang Xiaohong expressed satisfaction with the measures taken by Pakistan to protect Chinese citizens and praised Islamabad\u2019s efforts in counterterrorism and internal security. He said China holds Pakistan\u2019s sacrifices in the fight against terrorism in high regard.<\/p>\n

The two ministers also agreed to further strengthen the joint rapid response system to counter terrorism and crime. Discussions included sister city initiatives between Islamabad and Beijing, as well as a joint strategy to improve the training and professional skills of police and security personnel.<\/p>\n

Naqvi highlighted the importance of exchanging experience and information through joint training programmes and briefed his counterpart on steps taken to safeguard Chinese nationals and joint development projects.
\u201cWe have taken strong measures at all levels to ensure the security of Chinese citizens and joint projects,\u201d he said, adding that the special protection unit in Islamabad was being established for this purpose.<\/p>\n

He also welcomed Chinese cooperation in preventing cybercrime and said Pakistan intends to benefit from Chinese support to strengthen the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency. Naqvi noted that AI-based Chinese technologies could play a key role in addressing counterterrorism and broader security challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cPakistan and China share an unbreakable bond of enduring cooperation, and no one can create a wedge between us,\u201d Naqvi said, expressing his desire to further expand collaboration to protect shared interests.<\/p>\n

Naqvi invited Wang Xiaohong to visit Pakistan, while the Chinese interior minister invited his Pakistani counterpart to participate in the Global Security Cooperation Forum in China this September. Wang also said he would be pleased to welcome Naqvi at the beginning of 2026 and reaffirmed China\u2019s readiness to enhance bilateral cooperation at all levels. He later hosted a luncheon in honour of the Pakistani delegation.<\/p>\n

Senior officials from both sides attended the meeting, including Chinese vice ministers, senior public security officials, and key Pakistani representatives from the interior ministry, police, and cybercrime agencies.<\/p>\n
