September 18, 2017

UNITED NATIONS, Sept 18 (INP): The United States has suggested Vice President Pence's meeting with Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi as part of their efforts “to re-engage with Pakistan." It will be first direct Pakistan-US interaction after the announcement of Afghan and South Asia policy by President Trump that made scathing attack and hurled threats to Pakistan. Pakistan Ambassador to the UN Dr Maleeha Lodhi talking to Pakistani journalists here on Sunday said the Pence-Abbasi talks are likely to take place on Tuesday. INP/AH
