Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi chaired a comprehensive three-hour meeting at the Capital Development Authority (CDA) Headquarters to review the progress of ongoing development projects in Islamabad. Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry and Secretary Interior Muhammad Khurram Agha were also in attendance. The meeting focused on key infrastructure initiatives and preparations for upcoming international events, including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit 2027. In line with the Prime Minister’s directives, detailed consultations were held regarding the construction of a new convention centre in the federal capital. An in-principle decision was taken to construct an additional convention hall adjacent to the Jinnah Convention Centre. Minister Naqvi stated that the new facility would feature a spacious main hall, multiple conference rooms, and meeting spaces designed to meet international standards. He emphasized the importance of engaging top local and international architects to ensure the project’s modern and globally competitive design. “The completion of this project will strengthen Pakistan’s capacity to host major international conferences and events,” the Interior Minister remarked, underscoring the strategic significance of the initiative.
