US Vice President Joseph Biden on Friday said Washington has a “great interest “ in Pakistan’s success while Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif underscored improved bilateral relations as the two leaders discussed wide-ranging cooperation at a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session.
“The United States has a great interest in Pakistan’s success,” Biden said, while welcoming Prime Minister Sharif as the democratic leader of Pakistan.
The Pakistani leader said he looked forward to constructive discussions with Vice President Biden.
The US vice president said the better Pakistan does, the happier the United States is, as it wants the country to succeed. “We have enormous mutual interest — we are both striving together to combat terrorism to provide for prosperity for our people, expand trade opportunities, access to education – and there is a great deal our countries can do together, bilaterally, internationally and regionally,” Biden added.
