The “National Central Bureau” (NCB) in FIA serves as a liaison for which international body?

The correct answer is B: INTERPOL. The "National Central Bureau" (NCB) within the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) serves as the designated liaison office for INTERPOL (the International Criminal Police Organization) in Pakistan. NCBs are critical components of INTERPOL's global network, facilitating international police cooperation, intelligence sharing, and coordination of cross-border investigations among member countries. Through its NCB, the FIA connects with law enforcement agencies worldwide to combat transnational crimes such as terrorism, cybercrime, human trafficking, and economic offenses, leveraging INTERPOL's secure global communication system.

• A: United Nations is a large international organization with various agencies, but the NCB's primary law enforcement liaison is specifically with INTERPOL, not the UN as a whole. While some UN bodies cooperate with national law enforcement, the NCB's direct and formal role is tied to INTERPOL.
• C: FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) is the principal investigative arm of the United States Department of Justice. While the FIA may cooperate with the FBI on specific cases through bilateral agreements or INTERPOL channels, the NCB is not established as a direct liaison for the FBI.
• D: Europol is the European Union's law enforcement agency. Its mandate is primarily focused on supporting EU member states in combating serious international crime and terrorism. While there might be cooperation, Pakistan's NCB is established for global liaison through INTERPOL, not specifically for Europol.
