Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi held separate meetings with Director General of International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) Suzanne Raab and Executive Director of European Union Border and Coast Guard Agency 'Frontex' Hans Leijtens, in which it was decided to increase mutual cooperation with the International Centre for Migration Policy Development and the European Union Border and Coast Guard Agency to prevent illegal immigration.

Mohsin Naqvi said that despite limited resources, a 64 percent reduction in illegal immigration was a challenging task. We accepted prevention of illegal immigration as a challenge and the entire team worked day and night.

Mohsin Naqvi said that 100 percent reduction in illegal immigration is the next target, which will be achieved at all costs. To reduce illegal immigration, it is necessary to open new avenues for legal migration. Modern technology and training of officers are needed to prevent illegal immigration.

Mohsin Naqvi said that to make border management more effective, attention is being paid to increasing the capacity of institutions according to modern requirements. Further practical measures and coordinated cooperation are needed for complete elimination of illegal immigration.

The Director General of ICMPD said that Pakistan's efforts against illegal immigration are commendable. The Pakistan-ICMPD delegation appreciated FIA's Risk Analysis Report.
