ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal on Thursday informed British High Commissioner Thomas Drew that Pakistan’s security agencies were keeping a close watch on banned organisations and that the international community must acknowledge Islamabad’s sacrifices in the fight against terrorism.
The minister made these remarks during a meeting with the British High Commissioner here. “We have rendered great sacrifices in the war against terrorism, but in Balochistan acts of terror are taking place with support from across the border. We are determined to foil all conspiracies against Pakistan and restore peace to the region,” the minister said.

He suggested that both countries should strengthen economic relations.
According to statement issued by the interior ministry, the British High Commissioner acknowledged the sacrifices rendered by law-enforcement agencies of Pakistan in the war on terror and said that the UK would not allow any British national to create unrest in any other country.
