Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said:

I condemn yesterday’s appalling attack on the police training centre in Quetta, Pakistan. My thoughts are with those who lost loved ones and friends, or were injured, in this callous attack.

The minority seeking to undermine Pakistan’s security will not prevail. In Quetta and across Pakistan people are working determinedly to build a brighter future. The UK will continue to stand with them.
