ISLAMABAD – US Ambassador makes important statement over Pakistan AmericaRelations in new era.
The US ambassador to Pakistan Paul Jones has said that America and Pakistanare partners in progress, and that relations between America and Pakistanare ‘developing step by step’ as is evident from three meetings betweenPresident Trump and Prime Minister Imran Khan, and several telephonicconversations between them.
Speaking before a huge gathering of guests at the 244th Independence Daycelebrations of his country at the Consulate General, he felt happy thatPakistan is already among the principle recipient of US military suppliesand training apart from huge investment and growing contact betweenbusinessmen of the two countries, which solidifies the trade and investmentfurther.
As usual, the celebrations were truly warm this year also. Although USIndependence Day is celebrated on July 4, to commemorate the 1776Independence Day treaty after long civil war in a continent, surrounded bysea, with only two roadways from Mexico and Canada, but the warmth neversubsided. Secondly, invitees to join their American friends on theirmemorable, and historic day with equal response and sentiments.
A military parade of US Marines, was, like before, and was added attractionthis time also, but despite lack of space for parking, the turn-outreflected enthusiasm as almost every Pakistani is aspirant to see themassive landmass and, rivers, oceans, lakes, mountains etc, and the warmthand hospitability which he feels while being in that enormous country.
Frankly, New York and Washington do not reflect the true picture ofAmerica, as the countryside, and the States from Virginia in the East andSan Fransisco in the West people are lion hearted, excel in hospitality forforeigners, and are tremendous in nature.
