The UK and Pakistan share a special bond through strong people to people connections, our shared love for cricket, and increased cooperation in the fields of education, health, culture and security. “With the UK home to the biggest Pakistani diaspora community in the world, hosting the Cricket World Cup 2019 in England and Wales, and British Airways coming back to Pakistan in June, I am confident the relationship between the UK and Pakistan is only going to grow stronger.
