 In his address, the IMCTC secretary-general underscored that “Reintegration” constitutes a central pillar of the coalition’s intellectual and preventive strategy, stressing that rehabilitation and reintegration programs serve as the first line of defense against extremist thought.
 The Pakistani defense minister praised IMCTC's efforts and the growing partnership with Pakistan in countering extremism and terrorism. He noted that hosting the initiative reflects Pakistan’s commitment to strengthening international cooperation and exchanging best practices in intellectual rehabilitation and reintegration. He emphasized that a comprehensive approach that integrates security, intellectual, and social dimensions is essential to achieving sustainable security and stability.
