ISLAMABAD: The United States on Thursday vowed to continue supporting Pakistan in overcoming its unprecedented economic crisis and post-flood challenges.<\/p>\n
The assurance from the US was given by its ambassador to Pakistan, Donald Blome, during his meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister Office in its official press release quoted the ambassador as saying: \u201cThe United States will continue to support Pakistan\u2019s post-flood recovery as well as the government\u2019s efforts for economic development and reform.\u201d<\/p>\n
Foreign Affairs Secretary Dr Asad Majeed Khan was also present in the meeting. Mr Khan remained a central figure in the country\u2019s politics when he served as Pakistan\u2019s ambassador to the US and had reportedly sent a diplomatic cipher to the previous Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf government.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Former prime minister Imran Khan had used the cipher as a political \u2018trump card\u2019 to convince the public that his government was toppled under a conspiracy hatched by the US in collaboration with the current ruling alliance \u2014 the Pakistan Democratic Movement.<\/p>\n
In Thursday\u2019s meeting, Prime Minister Sharif thanked the US for its continued support for Pakistan\u2019s post-flood reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts, including at the recently held International Conference on Resilient Pakistan in Geneva.<\/p>\n
The prime minister reiterated that Pakistan attached importance to its longstanding ties with the US. He also reaffirmed Islamabad\u2019s resolve to deepen economic and trade engagement with Washington.<\/p>\n
Noting the recent momentum in high-level bilateral exchanges, the premier stressed that structured and broad-based Pakistan-US engagement was critical to advancing both countries\u2019 shared goals in bilateral and regional domains.<\/p>\n
US President Joe Biden has already expressed his commitment to support Pakistan in flood recovery efforts, improve access to renewable energy and address challenges in the way of expanding trade and investment between the two nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
