  • PM Nawaz felicitates US president-elect over victory 

US president-elect Donald Trump, in a telephonic conversation with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, said on Wednesday he was willing to play any role that Pakistan wanted to find solutions to outstanding problems.

The premier had called Trump to felicitate him on his recent victory, a statement issued by the PM’s House said.

The US president-elect also said it would be an honour for him to do so and he would personally do what was needed.

During the telephone conversation, Trump also praised PM Nawaz Sharif and expressed his desire to meet with him soon. “As I am talking to you Prime Minister, I feel I am talking to a person I have known for long,” he said.

Trump added that Pakistan was a fantastic country with tremendous opportunities and that Pakistanis were some of the most intelligent people.

Trump also accepted PM Nawaz’s invitation, saying he would love to visit Pakistan and meet its people.

Earlier, Trump had said that if elected, he’d like to mediate between India and Pakistan because the region was a “very, very hot tinderbox”.
