President Zardari felicitates US leadership on Independence Day
ISLAMABAD, Jul 04 (APP): President Asif Ali Zardari, Saturday, extended felicitations to President of the United States of America Donald Trump and the American people on the momentous occasion of the United States’ 250 years since the Declaration of Independence.
In his letter to the US President, he said that the United States continued to build upon its enduring legacy of strength, innovation and commitment to the ideals of freedom, democracy and opportunity.
He noted that the remarkable achievements of the American people over the past two and a half centuries have contributed significantly to global progress and prosperity, President Secretariat Media Wing said in a press release
President Zardari said that Pakistan and the United States shared a long-standing relationship based on mutual respect, shared interests and a common commitment to advancing peace, security and prosperity.
He emphasised that these enduring ties have been further strengthened by the vibrant Pakistani-American community, whose achievements and contributions continue to enrich both societies while serving as a lasting bridge of friendship and understanding.
“Describing the bilateral relationship as being on an ascendant trajectory, characterised by renewed engagement and a shared determination to build a stronger, future-oriented partnership, the president stressed the importance of sustaining this momentum through structured engagement in energy security, trade and investment, defence and counter-terrorism, and other areas of mutual interest,” it was added.
Underscoring that a strong Pakistan-US partnership directly contributes to regional peace and security, the president noted that its inherent value was validated last year in May, when President Trump led the successful brokering of a ceasefire between the two nuclear-armed states.
He further said that with an evolving global landscape, this partnership strengthens, expressing appreciation for the trust and confidence placed by the US in Pakistan’s mediatory role for negotiations with Iran.
The president expressed his firm conviction that a sustainable solution could only be achieved through dialogue, diplomacy and de-escalation.
President Zardari conveyed that the people of Pakistan would be honoured to host President Trump in Islamabad at his earliest convenience.
