Foreign Office advises against travel to India and Pakistan
The Foreign Office has warned UK tourists to avoid all travel to India or Pakistan, amid rising tensions between the two countries.
It also advised British nationals currently in the two countries to consider leaving.
The Foreign Office said The United States is taking similar action.
Announcing the new advice, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said he did not regard war between the two nuclear powers as inevitable. However, he said he had a clear “duty of care” for UK citizens, including staff in diplomatic posts.
The Foreign Office said UK nationals in the two countries should contact travel operators about flying out. Commercial flights are still operating as normal into and out of India and the FCO is advising British nationals to consider leaving on these flights. The FCO is advising British nationals in India to contact travel operators about the availability of airline seats.
