“This official visit underscores Pakistan’s continued engagement with the Kingdom of Bahrain, aimed at fostering a results-oriented and strategic partnership between the two countries,” the FO added.
Security cooperation and strategic engagement
Earlier this year, Pakistan and Bahrain pledged to enhance cooperation in counter-terrorism, anti-human trafficking, and narcotics control. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi had held talks in Manama with Bahraini Interior Minister General Sheikh Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, reviewing joint security efforts and ways to strengthen the Pakistan-Bahrain joint security committee.
The Bahraini minister described Naqvi’s visit as a valuable opportunity to deepen security ties, praising the current level of coordination between the two nations.
