WASHINGTON: United States Secretary of State John Kerry welcomed Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to the Department of State on Sunday for the first bilateral visit of his term following Pakistan’s historic first transfer of power between democratically elected civilian governments.
The State Secretary’s meeting with the Prime Minister is their third in three months, and continued the robust dialogue on our shared goal of a stable, secure, and prosperous Pakistan.
Discussions covered a broad range of domestic and regional issues, including peace and security, counterterrorism cooperation, collaboration on Pakistan’s energy sector, increasing bilateral trade and investment, and the common interest in a secure and stable Afghanistan.
Both sides agreed on the importance of our continued counterterrorism cooperation, and that extremism is countered in part by opportunities arising from greater economic stability.
To that end, the U.S., Pakistan’s largest trading partner, remains committed to an economic relationship increasingly based on trade and investment.
Following the meeting, Secretary Kerry hosted a private working dinner with the Prime Minister and senior officials from both countries.
