PM Johnson congratulates and looks forward to working with Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has congratulated the newly-elected Pakistani Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on his appointment to the highest leadership position in the country and hopes to work on global challenges together.
According to a statement released by No. 10, “PM Johnson looked forward to continuing working together including addressing global challenges. He also recalled their meeting in 2016 during his visit to Pakistan and the discussions held on a number of shared interests including girls’ education, health, economics and trade relations.”
Sharif took oath on April 11 with Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani and is the 23rd Prime Minister of Pakistan. He was elected after former PM Imran Khan was ousted from his position after a vote of no confidence in the parliament.
