A Call to Action
The statistics presented in the report are a wake-up call for the Pakistani government.

Conclusion
In conclusion, Pakistan’s emergence as a hub for international crime is a serious concern that needs to be addressed urgently. The government needs to take concrete steps to curb these activities and restore the country’s reputation globally. The clock is ticking, and if Pakistan fails to act, it will be left behind as a nation that has failed to control its citizens and protect the world from its crimes.
