Great to be at this #Equalitea yesterday. Moving stories from Pakistan on women voting for the first time on 25th July but still a way to go #FollowTheFlag
12 days after the Pakistan election, @ukinpakistan hosted an #Equalitea : colleagues from across the Mission discuss the role & achievements of women as voters & candidates in recent vote. But challenges remain.. #FollowTheFlag @SuffrageFlag @XgovCentenary #WomenEmpowerment
Great to see these stocktake routines continue & to be joined by @MichaelBarber9 by videolink for the usual regular assessment of progress against key indicator #roadmaps #delivery teapaw.org/smureforms/status/1017…
The Chief Secretary of the @PunjabGovtpk chaired the #Health, #Education, #Water and #SolidWasteManagement stocktakes and got the latest updates in these sectors from the departments concerned. The stocktakes were organized by @SMUReforms.

A remarkable and dangerous rescue. Our gratitude to the Pakistan Army pilots who rescued two British climbers trapped by an avalanche on Ultar Sar Peak near Hunza. Our thoughts with their Austrian fellow climber who did not survive the avalanche.
