Cannot Afford "Enmity With US At All": Pak's New PM's Charge At Imran Khan

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif regretted that the previous government had annoyed all those countries that had always helped Pakistan in difficult times, especially China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United States.

Pakistan cannot afford to have "enmity with the US at all," Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said, as he vowed to mend fences with all allies and friends of the country who have been estranged from Islamabad due to the faulty foreign policies of the previous government of Imran Khan.

Sharif, who assumed office on April 11, regretted that the previous government led by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party led by Khan had annoyed all those countries that had always helped Pakistan in difficult times, especially China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United States.

He said there was a need to end the mistrust between Pakistan and the United States, and both countries needed to see if they had committed any mistakes in the past, the Dawn newspaper reported on Wednesday.

"Pakistan cannot afford to have enmity with the US at all," Sharif, also the President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) said while responding to a volley of questions from senior journalists during an Iftar reception at the Prime Minister House on Tuesday.
