Protecting Business Reputation When Entering Foreign Markets
Expanding into new international markets presents promising growth opportunities. However, such moves come with challenges, especially when it comes to maintaining and protecting a business’s brand reputation.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advises against all travel to Afghanistan.
You should not travel to Afghanistan.
The security situation in Afghanistan remains extremely volatile. There is an ongoing and high threat of terrorist attacks through Afghanistan, including around the airport. There is a heightened threat of terrorist attacks in or around religious sites and during religious festivals, such as the month of Ramadan. Travel throughout Afghanistan is extremely dangerous, and border crossings may not be open.
There are currently no British consular officials in Afghanistan and our ability to provide consular assistance is severely limited and cannot be delivered in person within Afghanistan.
If you choose to travel to or stay in Afghanistan against FCDO advice, you should keep a low profile. Be vigilant, try to avoid all crowds and public events including religious events, and take appropriate security precautions.
There is a heightened risk of detention of British nationals. The British Government may not be notified about such detentions; communications with next of kin may not be guaranteed; and detention may be lengthy.
