Our aid relationship with any government is based on an assessment of their commitment to our Partnership Principles, which include human rights.
The Government of Pakistan has publically recognised the problems facing minorities, and the need to bring an end to religious persecution. We remain fully committed to working in partnership with them to achieve this.
