In line with the principles enshrined in the Constitution of Pakistan and reiterated by the people of Pakistan through Pegham-e-Pakistan and National Narrative, our country stands for peace and security at both the national and international level. Today we stand at a crucial juncture where the collective efforts of every citizen and institution are paramount in building a society grounded in peace, understanding and unity. NACTA is a federal authority tasked to formulate counter terrorism and counter extremism strategies. It also develops comprehensive action plans for implementation of these strategies. It generates threat assessments with careful reviews of information received from various intelligence agencies. This information is collated and disseminated to various law enforcement agencies in shape of alerts for conducting operations and initiating legal action including investigation and prosecution of terrorists. We carry out extensive research on the causes and drivers of extremism and terrorism and publish the reports and findings periodically. NACTA also makes action plans for CT practitioners and LEAs while also monitoring and evaluating their implementation. We keep close liaison with international bodies to facilitate cooperation in all relevant fields. Our extensive outreach policies allow us to explore non-kinetic and soft responses to mitigate violent extremism in our society. I would like to express my appreciation for all stakeholders and partners for their support in our efforts to counter and prevent terrorism and extremism in Pakistan. Together, we shall build a peaceful and secure Pakistan.

National Coordinator, NACTA.
