Sources familiar with the development told The Express Tribune that Pakistan is seeking a “paradigm shift” in its approach as far as ties with the U.S. are concerned.
Seeking a “paradigm shift” in its ties with the U.S., Pakistan’s National Security Advisor Moeed Yusuf has presented to his American counterpart Jake Sullivan a blueprint to enhance bilateral relations not based on security and defence but focussing on economy and trade, according to a media report on Wednesday. Mr. Yusuf, who was appointed as the National Security Advisor (NSA) this month, met Mr. Sullivan on Sunday in Geneva. In a first in-person high-level meeting, the Pakistani and the U.S. NSAs held wide-ranging talks on the bilateral, regional and global issues of mutual interest. Breaking from the past practice, Mr. Yusuf presented the Pakistani plan, seeking bilateral cooperation with the U.S. not based on security and defence but economy, trade and business.More Related News
