Pakistan remains a topic of concern and discussion worldwide due to its association with terrorism. Countries, including India, have distanced themselves from Pakistan due to its actions. Despite facing economic crisis, Pakistan is not receiving assistance due to its perceived threat. According to a report by the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST), Pakistan poses a threat to Norway. The report highlights Pakistan's illicit use of methods to steal sensitive Norwegian technology. The report advises Norway to remain vigilant, conduct investigations, and maintain continuous monitoring. It's worth mentioning that Norway is known for its advanced technology.
Pakistan's potential for technology theft:
The report suggests that Pakistan can potentially obtain sensitive technology by sending its researchers to educational and research institutions in Norway. This poses a significant risk to the dissemination of sensitive technology.
Violation of regulations by Pakistan:
In addition to facilitating the entry of researchers into Norwegian educational institutions, Pakistan may also attempt to circumvent Norwegian export control regulations to acquire Norwegian technology. It should be noted that selling sensitive technology without government authorization is prohibited in Norway.
Illegal entry into Europe by Pakistanis:
It is noteworthy that every year, thousands of individuals from Pakistan enter Europe, either legally or through illegal means. While those with valid visas directly fly to Europe, individuals who enter through illegal means usually travel via Afghanistan, Iran, or Turkey. Several countries have expressed concerns regarding Pakistan's involvement in such activities.
Pakistan's actions have raised red flags in various countries, including Norway, which is now taking measures to address the potential risks associated with Pakistan's activities. The international community continues to monitor and assess the situation, as the implications of technology theft and illicit entry extend beyond national security concerns.
