New Zealand Cricket has rejected a request for the Black Caps to tour Pakistan later this year.
Kane Williamson's side is due to face Pakistan in all formats in the United Arab Emirates in October and November.
The Pakistan Cricket Board wanted the Twenty20 series to be staged in Pakistan, but NZC chairman Greg Barclay said that will not be happening.
"At the end of the day it came down to following the advisory and the security reports we'd obtained." Barclay told Newshub.
"There's no doubt they [the Pakistan Cricket Board] are disappointed. I think they saw a tour by a country like New Zealand as being a great precedent for them to start to build an international programme back in Pakistan.
"So they're disappointed but they're good guys, we get on really well with Pakistan, and I think they're fully accepting of the decision that we've reached."
Zimbabwe in 2015 became the first team to tour Pakistan since a terror attack on the Sri Lanka team bus nine years ago and an under-strength West Indies side followed suit in April.
A World XI also toured Pakistan last September.
