Islamabad, November 13, 2025 – Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has directly blamed “neighbouring countries” for the recent wave of terrorist incidents, including the deadly suicide blast in Islamabad, during a crucial meeting with the UK’s top crime official.
Speaking to National Crime Agency (NCA) Director General Graeme Biggar, Naqvi said:
“Links of all terrorist incidents come from neighbouring countries.”

He hailed Pakistan’s unmatched resolve in fighting terrorism and called for stronger global support in forensics, training, and intelligence sharing.
The high-level talks focused on deepening cooperation in counterterrorism, narcotics control, human trafficking, immigration, and cybercrime. Both sides agreed to expand training programs for Pakistan’s Anti-Narcotics Force and National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency, and to jointly tackle online child exploitation.
Five key Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) on extradition and security collaboration are set to be finalized soon.
Biggar strongly condemned Tuesday’s suicide attack outside a district court in Islamabad’s G-11 sector — the first in the capital in nearly three years — and expressed solidarity with the victims. He praised Pakistan’s efforts in curbing the drug trade.
The meeting came a day after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif accused Afghanistan and India of backing terror groups, vowing a “befitting response” to external threats.
As violence surges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, Naqvi’s pointed remarks signal Islamabad’s intent to internationalize its security concerns — even as regional tensions rise.
