The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday issued a travel advisory, strongly urging Pakistani nationals to avoid all travel to Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria due to the current security situation in the region.
In a statement, the ministry said the advisory was being issued for the safety and security of Pakistani citizens, advising them to defer all non-essential travel to the four countries until conditions improve.
Pakistani nationals currently residing in these countries have been advised to exercise extreme caution, remain vigilant, and minimise non-essential movement.
