Pakistan and Turkey signed an agreement in Istanbul on Friday to deepen cooperation against terrorism, drug trafficking and organised crime, and agreed to set up a Joint Working Group between their interior ministries. Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Turkish counterpart Mustafa Çiftçi also pledged technical assistance, expert exchanges and joint work on cyber policing, anti-narcotics efforts and police training. Çiftçi said illegal migration from Pakistan to Turkey had fallen from 70 per cent to 17 per cent, crediting Islamabad's crackdown on human-smuggling networks.
