Imran Khan: Imprisonment

Contribution

We have concerns, which I know the noble Lord shares, about the election in 2024 and we raise these with the Government of Pakistan. But one of the reasons why it is important to keep our trade and development relationships with Pakistan thriving is so we can work specifically on these issues of democratic engagement, inclusive politics and the rule of law. These things matter a great deal to us, and we are able to work through civil society organisations and directly with regional governments to try to improve the situation, for the very reasons the noble Lord articulated so effectively.
