Pakistan: Airports

Question for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office

UIN 42924, tabled on 31 March 2025

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has had discussions with the government of Pakistan on the delivery of a potential international airport in Mirpur, Pakistan.

Answered on

22 April 2025

The delivery of a potential international airport in Mirpur is an internal matter for Pakistani government authorities. Whilst the UK supports the aim of economic development in the region, it is not for the UK to influence decisions around specific infrastructure projects. This issue has not been raised by the Foreign Secretary with Pakistani counterparts.
