Summary Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi is expected to meet senior US officials in Washington after attending the UN police summit as Pakistan continues diplomatic efforts on US-Iran dialogue.
WASHINGTON (Web Desk) – Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi is expected to hold meetings with senior US officials in Washington early next week following his participation in the Fifth United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit 2026 (UNCOPS) in New York, diplomatic sources said.
Naqvi is representing Pakistan at the two-day summit, held at the United Nations Headquarters on July 7 and 8, where interior ministers, police chiefs and senior law enforcement officials from around the world are discussing international peace, security and cooperation against transnational crime.
This year's summit is focused on shaping a new vision for United Nations policing to ensure peace operations remain effective, responsive and people-centred.
On the sidelines of the event, the interior minister is expected to meet the UN Secretary-General and hold bilateral meetings with several counterparts attending the summit. Diplomatic sources also indicated that Naqvi is likely to meet New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani during his visit.
Several other Pakistani officials, including Ahsan Iqbal, Tariq Fatemi, Rana Mashhood and Khurram Dastgir, are also visiting the United States during the same period.
After concluding his engagements in New York, Naqvi is expected to travel to Washington for consultations with senior US officials. Diplomatic sources said Tariq Fatemi may also join him during the meetings.
The expected talks come as Pakistan continues diplomatic efforts aimed at facilitating dialogue between the United States and Iran. According to diplomatic sources, Islamabad has emerged as the leading venue for the next round of technical negotiations between the two countries.
The technical-level talks are expected to be held on July 11, followed by another round of high-level direct negotiations in Doha later this month after both sides finalise the agenda and remaining issues.
