#Pakistan; read our latest travel advice with the addition of information about an explosion reported at the Tarlai Imam Bargah of Shahzad Town Police Station jurisdiction in Islamabad: ow.ly/Z4GN50Y9QAX

Today’s appalling attack in Islamabad is deeply shocking. My thoughts are with the victims, families and all affected. The UK stands with Pakistan in the fight against terrorism and in support of all communities affected by such senseless violence.

IOM Pakistan, with the support of @FCDOGovUK and partners, undertook anticipatory action to support families in flood-prone areas of Sindh province. A few glimpses of our work in the Kandh Kot area of the northern parts of Sindh. @ukinpakistan #FloodResponse2025

The UK-funded SEED programme has helped Khyber Pakhtunkhwa unlock investment, strengthen public systems, and embed reforms for long-term growth. A milestone worth celebrating as we continue building a greener, more resilient future together.

In Okara, Faisalabad and Lahore, it was powerful to see how UK-supported programmes are helping people access healthcare, protection, and support. Local partnerships are at the heart of development that’s inclusive, dignified, and lasting.

“Lite, lite, refreshing!” Qarshi Jam-e-Shirin is a national treasure that’s also state-of-the-art. Loved meeting founder Iqbal Ahmed Qarshi, and seeing how @UKinPakistan can partner with the private sector to boost exports.

We are empowering women by creating 10 million digital wallets for @BISP_Pakistan recipients. @UKinPakistan & @KarandaazPK are ensuring the payments are direct, secure, and go straight to the women who need it. Great to join the PM's launch event.

Meet the brave heroes of Search and Rescue, saving lives and supporting rescue operations in KP. With UK support, 2400 community volunteers were trained across Pakistan’s vulnerable districts. At this crucial time, we need them more than ever.

His Majesty The King has sent a message of condolence to the people of Pakistan following the tragic loss of life and widespread devastation caused by the recent monsoon flooding. royal.uk/news-and-activ…

We come together on World Humanitarian Day to honour frontline rescue workers, saving lives, and reaching those stranded to deliver aid. UK support and preparedness means that when disaster hits, we have emergency supplies ready to distribute to vulnerable families.

My thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragic flooding across Pakistan. The UK is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life, including those serving on a government relief helicopter. The UK stands in solidarity with Pakistan during this difficult time.

Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, Rt Hon David Lammy MP @DavidLammy, contacted Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar @MIshaqDar50 to convey his condolences on the tragic loss of lives caused by the recent flash floods in Pakistan. He expressed UK’s solidarity with Pakistan in this difficult time and also wished DPM/FM productive engagements during the visit to London. The DPM/FM expressed gratitude for UK’s solidarity and its readiness to support relief and recovery efforts. He looked forward to continued engagement with the UK leadership.

I am devastated by the significant loss of lives following further flooding across parts of Pakistan, including personnel on a Government helicopter carrying out relief work. My thoughts are with the families affected. We stand by Pakistan at this difficult time.

The UK is helping schools in Sindh, KP & Punjab bounce back from the devastating 2022 floods. I had the privilege of hearing (virtually) from students & teachers in KP about how @UKinPakistan's partnership with @RSPN_PK is helping communities to build back better.
