Britain has announced £8 million in new funding to strengthen joint efforts with Pakistan against illegal migration and organised crime, including measures to improve border management, disrupt human-smuggling networks, and support the return of individuals with no legal right to remain in the UK. UK Parliamentary Under-Secretary Hamish Falconer made the announcement during a visit to Islamabad, where he also personally thanked Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar for Pakistan's role in facilitating the recent US-Iran diplomatic agreement. The two sides also reaffirmed their commitment to broader economic cooperation, with discussions covering Pakistan's macroeconomic outlook and structural reforms.
