For the first time, US President Joe Biden wrote a letter to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on March 29.
In the letter, President Joe Biden told the newly elected Prime Minister of Pakistan that his government fully supports Shehbaz Sharif’s government and that the ties between the two countries are significant for bilateral and regional peace and security.
According to the contents of the letter shared by the US Embassy, Biden wrote, ‘The enduring partnership between our nations remains critical to ensuring the security of our people—and people around the world—and the United States will continue to stand with Pakistan to tackle the most pressing global and regional challenges of our time’.
Since Biden presumed office in 2021, there has been no communication between the US President and any of Pakistan’s PMs.
Biden neither congratulated Prime Minister Imran Khan after his victory nor called Shehbaz Sharif when he won over Imran Khan in April 2022.
“That includes advancing our shared vision for a future of greater health security, economic growth, and access to education for all. Through our U.S.-Pakistan “Green Alliance” framework, we will also continue to strengthen our climate resilience, support sustainable agriculture and water management, and assist with Pakistan’s recovery from the devastating floods in 2022. And, the United States remains committed to working with Pakistan to protect human rights and promote progress,” President Biden’s letter read.
“Together, we will continue to forge a strong partnership between our nations, and a close bond between our people,” the letter concluded.
