Please edit title to acting ambassador, he is a temporary filled-in guy before Trump nominates new ambassador for Pakistan. The US ambassador to Pakistan David Hale was recently given the job of under secretary and left the ambassador post vacant.

He also emphasized on revitalization of diplomatic ties between the two countries and stressed upon the need to transform it for the benefit of both Pakistan and United States.

Shedding light upon the significance of stability in Afghanistan, the chairman PTI emphasized on political solution of the looming crisis in Afghanistan.

“I am glad that people in United States have ultimately started acknowledging significance of political solution as conflict and use of force can add to the damages instead of breeding a sustainable solution to the crisis,” he added.

Stability in Afghanistan, the chairman PTI said, was in the larger interest of Pakistan, America and the region and hence should be earned through viable political engagements. - APP
