<p>I remain concerned about reports of human rights abuses in Pakistan. We regularly
raise our concerns, including those reflected in the Universal Periodic Review's recommendations
for Pakistan, with the Government of Pakistan at a senior level.</p><p>During his
visit to Pakistan in March, the former Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth
Affairs, my Right Hon Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond),
raised the importance we attach to safeguarding the rights of all Pakistani citizens
regardless of ethnicity, faith or gender. We will continue to urge Pakistan to adhere
to its human rights obligations and uphold the rule of law.</p>
