KARACHI: Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Thursday said the country’s senior police officials will undergo a one-month training program at Beijing Police College (BPC) based on modern, technology-based standards.
Naqvi, who is currently in China, visited the BPC to observe the high-tech training facilities of the Chinese police. He was given a tour of the campus, tested a state-of-the-art driving test simulator and was briefed on how modern technology is used to deal with protests, violent incidents and other crimes.
Pakistan and China have been strengthening police cooperation through joint training and technology sharing, aimed at enhancing modern policing skills and improving law enforcement effectiveness.
“All ASPs [assistant superintendents of police] of the National Police Academy will come to the Beijing Police College for one month of training,” he was quoted as saying in a statement circulated by Pakistan’s interior ministry.
“Pakistani police officers will also be provided education and professional training in line with modern requirements,” he continued. “In this regard, we will sign an agreement to enhance cooperation between the National Police Academy and the Beijing Police College.”
