Prime Minister Khan admitted that he had not spoken to President Biden since the collapse of the Afghan government
A senior White House official has said that she cannot "predict" when President Joe Biden would make a call to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan though there has been high-level engagements between the two countries.
Prime Minister Khan during recent interviews to the American media has complained that a "busy" President Biden has not bothered to speak to him though Washington was seeking Pakistan's support in stabilising Afghanistan.
Replying to a question during the daily briefing on Monday on whether there could be a call from President Biden to Prime Minister Khan at some point soon, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said, "I don’t have anything to predict at this point in time. If they do a call, we will of course read it out to all of you." The media, during the briefing, highlighted that as President Biden was meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 24, Mr. Khan took to the stage at the U.N. and delivered some "scathing criticism of the U.S.’ actions in Afghanistan and he lamented the lack of direct engagement between himself and President Biden.
