KABUL: Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Sunday arrived in Kabul for a day-long visit to Afghanistan.
Afghanistan’s Deputy Interior Minister Mohammad Nabi Omari received Naqvi and his accompanying delegation at the airport.
During the visit, the interior minister will meet his Afghan counterpart, Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Ministry of Interior said.
The visit follows a series of steps taken by both nations to enhance bilateral relations, including the revival of the Joint Coordination Committee (JCC) and the elevation of diplomatic representation from chargé d’affaires to ambassador. Earlier this week, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Ishaq Dar visited Kabul.

During this visit, Dar called on Afghanistan’s Acting Interior Minister Haqqani, where the two sides held in-depth discussions on regional security cooperation and border management.
The meeting was held on the sidelines of the signing ceremony for the framework agreement on the Joint Feasibility Study of the Uzbekistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan (UAP) Railway Corridor—a landmark regional connectivity initiative aimed at linking Central Asia with Pakistani seaports via Afghanistan, the Foreign Office stated on X.
During the discussions, both parties reaffirmed the importance of addressing regional security threats and underscored the need for close collaboration to uphold peace and stability.
Dar highlighted the critical need to resolve all areas of concern—particularly those related to security and border management—in order to fully realise the potential of economic cooperation and regional integration.
Earlier this month, the two countries also held the inaugural round of the Additional Secretary-Level Mechanism talks.
