WASHINGTON: United State eased travel advisory for Pakistan and also acknowledged that Pakistan’s security environment has improved.
Pakistan Foreign Office stated in a press release “Pakistan has noted the update in the U.S. Travel Advisory, which has acknowledged that “Pakistan’s security environment has improved.” This is a step in the right direction.”
Press release further stated that Pakistan has made resolute efforts to enhance security throughout the country.
Significant improvement in the security environment has led the United Nations to re-designate Islamabad as a family station for its personnel.
Recently, the United Kingdom, while acknowledging the measures taken by Pakistan, has revised its Travel Advisory which is a welcome development.
The positive decisions by Portugal and Norway with regard to their Travel Advisories for Pakistan also reflect the confidence of these European Governments in Pakistan’s security environment.
Pakistan has also been declared as one of the “Best Holiday Destinations for 2020” by an award-winning travel magazine ‘Conde Nast Traveler.’
With Pakistan’s liberal visa regime and conducive environment for tourism, we are confident that larger number of tourists from all over the world would be travelling to Pakistan. People of Pakistan are ready to welcome foreign tourists in the country.
The improved security situation also offers opportunities for enhanced economic activity and foreign direct investment in Pakistan.
