The United States has eased travel advisory for Pakistan while acknowledging that the security environment in the country has significantly improved. “Pakistan has noted the update in the US Travel Advisory, which has acknowledged that Pakistan’s security environment has improved,” said the Foreign Office in a statement. Significant improvement in the security environment has led the United Nations to re-designate Islamabad as a family station for its personnel, it added. Recently, the United Kingdom, while acknowledging the measures taken by Pakistan, also revised its advisory. The positive decisions by Portugal and Norway with regard to their travel advisories for Pakistan also reflected the confidence of the European governments in the security environment.
