The news from Broad Peak is heartbreaking. I am profoundly saddened by the death of Nirmal Purja and the other climbers who lost their lives.

Nirmal was an extraordinary individual whose courage, determination and achievements inspired people across the United Kingdom and around the world. We are deeply grateful for his service in the British Armed Forces.

Through his remarkable mountaineering accomplishments, he expanded what many believed was possible and became a source of pride and inspiration for countless people.

As we mourn Nirmal, we also remember those who lost their lives alongside him. Our thoughts are with their families, friends and teammates at this unimaginably difficult time.

Heartbreaking news from Balochistan, where dozens of miners have lost their lives following a coal mine collapse. My sincere condolences to their families, friends, and communities as they mourn this terrible loss.

We are concerned by reports that several climbers have gone missing during a Broad Peak expedition, including a British-Nepali national. We are in contact with the Pakistani authorities and are grateful to them and the Pakistani military for their search and rescue efforts.

Best of luck Arshad Nadeem! Pakistan’s Olympic gold medalist is at @Glasgow_2026 to defend his men's javelin champion title, and is Pakistan’s flag-bearer at tonight’s opening ceremony. Fun fact: Lahore and Glasgow are celebrating their 20th anniversary as twin cities! 🇵🇰 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[The President of Pakistan @PresOfPakistan]

President Asif Ali Zardari has extended his heartfelt felicitations to Prime Minister Andy Burnham on assuming office as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

The President expressed the hope that under Prime Minister Burnham’s leadership, Pakistan and the United Kingdom would further strengthen their longstanding bilateral partnership and expand cooperation across areas of mutual interest.

President Zardari reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to dialogue, diplomacy and the peaceful resolution of disputes. He noted that, as the world, particularly the Gulf region, has been passing through a turbulent period since late February, Pakistan has played its part in promoting peace with the support of many brotherly countries. He expressed the hope that the United Kingdom, under Prime Minister Burnham’s leadership, would also play its part in securing a cessation of the current hostilities and return to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.

The President wished Prime Minister Burnham success in his new responsibilities and said that he looked forward to working together to further deepen the enduring ties between Pakistan and the United Kingdom.

Heartiest congratulations to @andyburnham on assuming office as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

I wish Prime Minister Andy Burnham every success in his tenure and look forward to working closely with him to further strengthen the historic and deep-rooted bonds of friendship and cooperation between Pakistan and the UK. These special ties are anchored by millions of proud and vibrant British Pakistanis who serve as a living bridge between our two countries.

Together, we will strive to elevate Pakistan–UK relations, in particular, our bilateral trade and investment partnership, to new heights.

What do you need to pay for when applying for a UK visa? Keep calm, you do not need to pay a visa agent.

We’ll tell you what you need to pay for, what not to pay for, and what’s optional. As always, check the official guidance.

[Hamish Falconer MP @HFalconerMP]

Delighted to be back in Pakistan for important discussions with @MIshaqDar50 and to thank Pakistan for their role mediating the US-Iran deal.

The next stage of talks are vital for regional stability and freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

[Jane Marriott @JaneMarriottUK]

Protecting genuine applicants from visa fraud requires a real partnership between the UK and Pakistan. The UK still welcomes genuine travellers, but using deception or false documents risks refusal and lasting consequences. My OpEd in @thenews_intl :
