Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government when the Prime Minister last discussed the situation in Afghanistan with Imran Khan, Prime Minister of Pakistan.

The Prime Minister discussed the situation in Afghanistan with Prime Minister Imran Khan when they spoke in August 2021. They discussed the importance of international and regional partners working together to avoid a humanitarian disaster in Afghanistan. We remain in close contact with the Government of Pakistan on the situation in Afghanistan. In November, the UK Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan travelled to Islamabad and discussed the crisis with senior members of the Pakistan Government. Most recently, Lord Ahmad discussed Pakistan's role in helping the people of Afghanistan with Foreign Minister Qureshi on 27 February.
