UK Security Minister Dan Jarvis visited Pakistan for the first time to meet political, military and security officials, the British High Commission in Islamabad announced on 11 November 2026. According to the High Commission, the talks covered regional stability, counter-terrorism and illegal migration.

The statement says Jarvis held discussions with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on regional security, including stability in Afghanistan, along with cooperation against terrorism and serious organised crime. The two countries are described as strengthening practical cooperation against terrorism, serious organised crime, illegal migration and visa fraud, with the aim of disrupting threats before they reach the UK.

The High Commission said the visit focused on stronger operational cooperation, better information sharing and building the capability needed to tackle criminal and terrorist networks. Jarvis said terrorism, serious organised crime, illegal migration and visa fraud do not stop at borders and require practical cooperation with trusted partners, describing the visit as aimed at turning a strong relationship into real results.
