Interior Minister lauds ‘seamless’ security coordination during Islamabad Talks

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has praised Pakistan’s security and civil institutions for what he called “outstanding professionalism, coordination, and vigilance” during the recently concluded Islamabad talks, a high-level diplomatic engagement that brought significant national and international attention to the capital.

In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), Naqvi commended the Pakistan Army, Punjab Rangers, Punjab Police, Motorway Police, Federal Constabulary, Capital Development Authority (CDA), Islamabad Administration, and Islamabad Police for their seamless joint operations that ensured a peaceful and tightly managed environment throughout the event.

The Islamabad talks refer to a major diplomatic and strategic engagement hosted in the federal capital amid heightened global and regional attention, with Pakistan playing a facilitating role in sensitive international dialogue.

According to official arrangements, the capital’s Red Zone was placed under strict security lockdown, with thousands of personnel deployed across key routes, government buildings, and diplomatic venues. Coordination among multiple civilian and paramilitary institutions was central to managing movement restrictions, securing delegations, and preventing any security lapses.

Officials noted that the talks required an unusually high level of inter-agency synchronization, as Islamabad simultaneously hosted foreign delegations and maintained routine governance under enhanced threat perception. The success of the operation is being viewed by authorities as evidence of improved civil-military coordination in managing large-scale national security events.

Naqvi’s statement also reflect the government’s broader narrative of strengthening internal security mechanisms. He accentuated that the peaceful conduct of the talks demonstrated institutional maturity and reinforced public confidence in Pakistan’s security apparatus during sensitive diplomatic moments.
