Sharif Pak Ties

S Jaishankar, who is in Pakistan for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation or SCO Summit being hosted by Islamabad, had a brief interaction with Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif today at an official dinner held for all the summit attendees.

Pakistan's newly-elected Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday raked up the Kashmir issue in his maiden address but pledged to improve ties with all leading nations, including the country's neighbours.

The talks between India and Pakistan is a matter for those two nations, US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price has said.

India on Thursday said it always wanted normal neighbourly relations with Pakistan, but there should be an atmosphere free from terror and violence for such ties.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Sunday that the Pakistan government is not in favour of any narrative against the United States and will try to improve ties with the superpower, Pak media reported.

The US has a "healthy military-to-military relationship" with Pakistani armed forces and it expects to continue the ties, Pentagon has said, days after Shehbaz Sharif became the new prime minister of Pakistan.

Soon after he was elected as Pakistan's Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif in his inaugural speech on Monday raised the issue of abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir.

Pakistan's ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif's brother and PML-N chief Shehbaz Sharif has asked India to resume peace talks with Islamabad, saying the Singapore summit between the US and North Korea should set a good precedent for both the bickering neighbours to follow.

Pakistan's Punjab province Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that it is time to say goodbye to US aid after President Donald Trump made harsh remarks and "exaggerated statements" about the financial assistance to Islamabad.

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has told the country's powerful Army that his meeting with Indian steel tycoon Sajjan Jindal last month was part of back-channel diplomacy, a media report said on Thursday.

Amid strained ties between India and Pakistan, industrialist Sajjan Jindal met Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday, triggering speculation in Pakistan over the revival of bilateral talks.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today said that his country wants good relations with all nations, "particularly its neighbours", amid a sharp escalation in tension with India over Kulbhushan Jadhav's death sentence.

Adviser to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said on Saturday that Pakistan desired good, friendly and lasting ties with the new US administration. Mr Aziz said that Mr Sharif's first contact with US President Donald Trump was a "very pleasant one". The two leaders had spoken over telephone a while back.

Describing the Unites States' relationship with Pakistan as extraordinarily complicated, the outgoing Obama Administration has hoped that President-elect Donald Trump would deepen counter-terrorism cooperation with the country to make America a safer place.

After months of withering campaign trail criticism of President-elect Trump, the White House is loath to say anything too negative about the next resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
