ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Thursday said that Pakistan wanted to expand communication and cooperation with the new British government at the earliest.
The minister expressed his views while meeting the British High Commissioner to Pakistan Thomas Drew. “Both the countries enjoy multi-faceted and multi-pronged cooperation in political, economic, strategic, and defence fields,” Nisar was quoted as saying by the ministry’s spokesman.
He pointed out that closer coordination and interaction were imperative to take the relations to a new level. “Our governments enjoyed an extraordinary rapport with Cameron’s government on major regional and global issues,” he added. “We considered Prime Minister Cameron a great friend and partner of Pakistan during his term of office,” he said.
Nisar understood that Pakistan eyed continuation in relations and said, “We intend having close coordination and cooperation with the new British PM Theresa May and her government, with whom I have a close working relationship during her tenure in office of Home Secretary.”
Nisar said that enhancing ties at all levels specifically at the ministerial level between the two countries would further strengthen the Pakistan-UK relations.
