U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director on Monday hosted Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi at the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., lauding Pakistan’s support for protecting U.S. interests in the region.
In a post on X, Patel described the meeting as an honor. He said the FBI deeply appreciated Pakistan’s support in protecting U.S. interests in the region.
He further said his discussion with Naqvi focused on facilitating resources and specialized training to combat counterterrorism financing and cyber investigations both at home and abroad. He described the two countries’ partnership as critical, and expressed optimism about more success ahead in bilateral cooperation.
“Our partnership is critical and we look forward to more success ahead,” he wrote.
The interior minister reached Washington last week after representing Pakistan at the United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit 2026 (UNCOPS), which aimed to strengthen cooperation among the police services of U.N. member states.
The meeting comes at a time when Pakistan and the United States are seeking to strengthen their security partnership, particularly in the areas of counterterrorism, intelligence sharing and combating financial crimes.
