Ambassador Masood, Biden express resolve to boost Pak-US ties

Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Masood Khan met US President Joe Biden during a visit to the White House in connection with the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries.

The ambassador said that he was honored to meet Biden at the Oval office, adding that Pakistan and the US resolved to strengthen their ties.

Ambassador Masood Khan had previously met President Biden on June 15 at the White House – an established tradition in Washington for newly appointed envoys.

According to a press release issued by the Pakistan embassy in the US, President Biden and Ambassador Khan had a brief conversation on building a strong basis for moving the US-Pakistan ties forward.

Forty-six other ambassadors were also present to have an official photograph with the president one by one. They too had not been able to call on Biden for more than a year because of Covid-19 restrictions.
