ISLAMABAD:-– Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday stressed that a deeper and strong partnership between Pakistan and the United States is mutually beneficial and critical for region s peace, security and prosperity.
Talking to a four member delegation of the US Senate including Senators Angus King, RichardBurr, John Cornyn and Benjamin Sasse in Islamabad today, he said Pakistan values its long standing relationship with the US and is committed to expand it in all spheres, particularly in the economic dimension.
