In a message to Pakistan President Dr Arif Alvi, he said: “Such acts of incomprehensible brutality, wherever they occur, are a barbaric assault on our shared humanity.

We recall our visit to Pakistan in 2006 with the greatest fondness, and will hold the people of Pakistan in our special thoughts and prayers as you mourn those you have lost.”
