Pakistan, Italy to combat cultural heritage smuggling

Pakistan and Italy are strengthening their cooperation to combat the illegal trafficking of cultural artifacts and archaeological treasures. The two nations will establish a direct communication channel between Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency and Italy's Carabinieri Tutela Patrimonio Culturale unit. This strategic partnership aims to enhance cross-border enforcement efforts, share intelligence on smuggling networks, and protect invaluable historical artifacts from being unlawfully exported. The initiative represents a significant step in international cultural preservation.
