Islamabad (Web Desk): Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq on Friday reaffirmed Pakistan's desire to further strengthen bilateral cooperation with the United States (US) in key areas including trade and investment, energy, security, and climate change.

He was talking to the US Ambassador Donald Blome who called on him in the federal capital.
PM Kakar appreciated the US role in helping Pakistan to stabilise its economy and reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to continue the reform agenda for achieving sustainable growth.

Noting the role that the US private sector has traditionally played in supporting Pakistan’s economic growth, the caretaker premier hoped that that more US companies would explore the investment opportunities, particularly to tap the vast potential for investment in Pakistan's information technology sector.

Lauding the important contributions of the Pakistani-American community towards strengthening ties between the two countries, he called for increasing people-to-people contacts between the two countries.

"Pakistan and the US enjoyed longstanding and broad-based relations, rooted in mutual respect, common interests and shared values," Kakar said expressing satisfaction on the current positive trajectory of bilateral ties.

PM Kakar emphasised that the caretaker government’s main responsibility was to assist the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in the electoral process and provide constitutional continuity during the period of democratic transition.

Ambassador Blome congratulated the prime minister on assuming office and reaffirmed the United States’ desire for supporting Pakistan’s economic and development agenda.
