The British government announced Wednesday

A new immigration system to make the “best and brightest” visit the UK to work, study, and live.

He announced on Wednesday the UK Home Office’s new immigration system to ensure a “level global playing field” for the ones willing to travel to the UK.

The Secretary said that the Home Office ensures an immigration system that offers “amazing opportunities to the best and brightest” from Pakistan to enter the UK to work, study, and live.

Rycroft also held meetings at the Ministry of Interior, linked agencies and discussed the shared priorities to affirm bilateral ties. He also spoke about the challenges affecting operational cooperation and highlighted areas of mutual interest to expand collaboration.

Mentioning the ground-breaking collaboration between the Pakistani authorities and the Metropolitan Police last year, Rycroft expressed his desire to work “more closely” with the government of Pakistan to cater to shared threats and bring criminals to justice.

“We set up a system that resulted in getting justice for the murder of Dr Imran Farooq.”

On the developments in Afghanistan, Rycroft said various security issues, including smuggling, human trafficking, narcotics smuggling, human trafficking, and illicit finance, are challenging the region.
