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.

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.

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.
