Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has announced that Pakistan will introduce enhanced security features in its passports to curb forgery and strengthen document integrity.
The minister made the statement during his visit to the Beijing Public Security Passport Bureau, where he reviewed China’s advanced passport issuance and immigration control systems. He was welcomed by Director General Sun Yu upon arrival.
During the visit, Mohsin Naqvi toured various departments of the Exit and Entry Administration Bureau and observed the complete passport production process, including application submission, verification, printing, and final issuance.
Chinese officials briefed him on immigration policies and operational procedures.
The interior minister praised the efficiency, speed, and effectiveness of China’s entry-exit management system, calling it a model of modern governance.
He said Pakistan has already developed a fast and secure passport and immigration framework, which is now being further upgraded to meet international standards.
Mohsin Naqvi added that Pakistan’s modern entry-exit control system is being developed on lines similar to the Beijing model, with a strong focus on technology-driven solutions, improved security features, and streamlined processing.
The visit is part of Pakistan’s broader efforts to modernize immigration infrastructure, enhance document security, and prevent passport misuse and forgery.
