The United Kingdom (UK) government has announced a new immigration system to enable the "best and brightest" to visit UK to study, work or live. According to a statement from the British High Commission on Wednesday, most senior official from the UK Home Office, Permanent Secretary Matthew Rycroft, who is on a two-day visit to Pakistan, made the announcement for UK Home Office’s new immigration system that will "level the global playing field" for the people willing to travel to the UK. Rycroft said that the Home Office is delivering an immigration system that offers clear opportunities to the "best and brightest" from Pakistan to come to the UK to study, work and live. This is the second visit of a senior British representative to Pakistan in the last three months. Former Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab visited Islamabad in early September and met senior Pakistani leaders including Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi.
