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.

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.

The advance of M23 and the Rwandan Defence Force into Bukavu is a violation of DRC’s sovereignty. Rwanda must withdraw its troops. The UK calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and return to dialogue via African-led peace processes. There can be no military solution.
