The US said that it is "there for" India. Noting that India's relationship with Russia developed over several decades when the US was not ready for that, US StateDepartment said.
A month after Pakistan's Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's maiden visit to the United States, where he discussed bilateral economic and commercial ties with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the Biden administration said that Washington will look at ways to advance ties with Islamabad in a manner that serves the mutual interests of both the countries.
During a press conference, State Department spokesperson Ned Price on Thursday (local time) termed Pakistan as America's partner.
"Pakistan is a partner of ours, and we will look to ways to advance that partnership in a manner. But Pakistan is a partner of ours, and we will look to ways to advance that partnership in a manner that serves our interest and our mutual interests as well," he said.
In May, Bilawal was on a visit to the US at the invitation of Blinken to attend the ministerial meeting on the "Global Food Security Call to Action" to be held at the UN.
