Pakistan will not allow any country to threaten its sovereignty, said Rehman Malik, adviser to the prime minister on interior, while addressing reporters upon his arrival at Heathrow Airport on Tuesday, according to APP.
Malik said Pakistani security forces were in full control of areas in Hangu district, adding that security forces had launched an operation in Zargari, Naryab, and Tora Warai to track down militants.
Malik is on a four-day official visit to the United Kingdom (UK) to discuss the repatriation of Pakistani nationals held in the UK for anti-state activities and for providing financial support to terrorist networks.
Sources said a three-member delegation comprising Rehman Malik, Interior Ministry Additional Secretary Zafeer Abbasi and Immigration and Passports Director General Wajid Bokhari will meet UK Interior Minister Jacqui Smith and UK Foreign Secretary David Milliband to discuss the issue.
