India and Pakistan. Due to the risk of conflict between
India and Pakistan, the FCO's advice is that they still recommend
against all but essential travel to India. British nationals already in
India should consider their need to remain in the country, but we no longer
advise they should leave. Our advice for Pakistan also no longer recommends
against all travel. But we continue to advise against all but essential
travel. Because of the continuing high level of security threat internally
in Pakistan, those who decide they must still travel should have confidence
in the security arrangements made for the entire visit. We further advise
all British nationals in Pakistan to leave unless they have a compelling
reason to stay, and similarly have confidence in their security arrangements.
The situation is likely to remain uncertain for some time. We will keep
our travel advice under constant review and will not hesitate to change
it if necessary.
