Punjab Home Secretary Dr Ahmed Javed Qazi has said that several security initiatives in Punjab, such as the Safe Cities Project and Dolphin Force, have been modeled on successful practices in Turkiye.
He said during a meeting with Turkish Consul General Durmus Bastug that vocational training programmes inspired by Turkiye's prison reforms had been introduced in Punjab's prisons to rehabilitate inmates and enable their reintegration into the society.
Dr Qazi briefed the consul general on the law and order situation in Punjab and highlighted the professional capabilities of the province's security institutions.
Durmus Bastug praised the longstanding and exemplary relationship between Pakistan and Turkiye, stating, "A strong Pakistan is synonymous with a strong Turkiye."
He expressed pride in Pakistan's development and reaffirmed Turkiye's unwavering support for its brotherly nation.
He also underscored Turkiye's interest in expanding cooperation in key areas such as technology, security, education and industry.
The home secretary said the civil defence system in the province was being modernised through the provision of bomb disposal robots and airlift drones. The use of technology and enhanced training is significantly contributing to public safety efforts, he added.
He informed the diplomat that law enforcement agencies had been equipped with modern tools, and criminal record had been digitised.
Plans are under way to send prison officers to Turkiye for training and capacity-building visits.
