Pakistan and the United Kingdom discussed on Thursday to adopt a common strategy against terrorism.

In recent weeks, the country has been exposed to an increase in terrorism, ranging from suicide bombs and targeted murders to complex assaults on military bases and mosques.

To tackle the question and build a common narrative, the Parliamentary Committee for National Security (PCNs) met Monday and emphasized the urgent need to implement terrorist framework-national action plan (NAP) and Vision AZM-I-IKEHKAM-to limit terrorism.

With this, the adviser to Prime Minister on political and public affairs Rana Sanaullah Khan held an important meeting with British High Commissioner Jane Marriott.

Both the dignitaries discussed increasing security cooperation and take cooperation measures to ensure regional peace and stability and agreed to strengthen intelligence sharing and operational cooperation in combating terrorism.

They also discussed ways to strengthen financial partnerships, improve trade relations and explore new opportunities for mutual collaboration between Pakistan and the UK.

During the meeting, Sanaullah, who also has the portfolio of the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC), confirmed Pakistan’s obligation to expand bilateral ties to the UK, a press release.

In addition, cultural exchanges and promotion of human-to-people-tape were discussed to further strengthen the relationship between the two nations.

Sanaullah emphasized that Pakistan’s government is obliged to elaborate on cooperation with the United Kingdom across all sectors and will take all the necessary measures to achieve this goal.
