The UK partnered with the Government of Sindh to develop climate adaptation projects that strengthen resilience in agriculture and natural resource management.
Their handover to @SindhGovtPk marks the next step, positioning them for future investment and implementation.

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.

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.

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.
