Pakistan’s high commissioner on nuclear security

But in a country where the Taliban and other organizations have infiltrated the state military, it’s a constant balancing act.
Lawrence Pollard, reporting for our partner the BBC, spoke this morning with Pakistan’s High Commissioner to the UK on the subject.
