Pakistan’s Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi chaired a crucial meeting in Islamabad. The gathering aimed at enhancing passenger facilitation and bolstering security systems at airports.

The discussion involved key officials from both Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Defence, including Talal Chaudhry, Muhammad Khurram Agha, Muhammad Ali, Noor Wali Khan, Qaiser Suleman, Abdul Mueed, Usman Anwar, among others.

Agreements were made to modernize airport screening systems with advanced machinery. Joint counters and a unified system where all agencies operate from one point will also be introduced.

The installation of e-gates was reviewed for faster clearance and reduced immigration processing time. Naqvi emphasized the importance of joint screening through single scanners, which would save time and significantly reduce queues at airports.

Defense Secretary highlighted plans to import modern equipment to prevent bird strikes and reduce aircraft accident risks.
