The Australian Federal Police (AFP) has partnered with international agencies, including Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), to strengthen efforts against migrant smuggling and human trafficking.

AFP personnel based in Islamabad recently took part in a National Dialogue focused on improving criminal justice responses to trafficking in persons and the smuggling of migrants in Pakistan.

The forum, organised by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, brought together key stakeholders to address the growing threat posed by organised crime networks profiting from human exploitation.

Discussions centred on enhancing coordination across agencies and borders to better disrupt these operations and hold offenders accountable.

The AFP contributed to key areas including investigative practices and inter-agency communication, reinforcing its commitment to working alongside the FIA to safeguard vulnerable communities.
