New US ambassador to Pakistan Richard Olsen says Pakistan is playing important role in the region.
Ambassador Olsen’s message to the people of Pakistan was posted by the US Embassy in Islamabad on the social media. “I am honoured to be the new US ambassador to Pakistan. I am honoured to serve in Pakistan because I understand and respect the important role in the region and the world,” he stated in the message.
He said like friends everywhere, we may not always agree and we may face challenges, but fundamentally we share many common interests and values,” he remarked.
He said he looks forward to hearing about Pakistani people’s views and your aspirations and want to see as much of the great and hospitable country of Pakistan as he can. “ I look forward to meeting and working together with Pakistan to broaden and deepen the ties between our two nations,” Ambassador Olsen said who is likely to arrive in Pakistan in the next week to take-up his new duties.
Ambassador Olsen has been a career diplomat for more than 30 years, including his tenure as the US ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and as Deputy Ambassador to Afghanistan. He was appointed to the job after the former ambassador, Cameron Munter, decided to step down in May this year.
