United States (US) Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday telephoned Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari to congratulate him on becoming the country’s new foreign minister.
Bilawal Bhutto and Antony Blinken tweeted about the telephonic contact between the two counterparts.
The two also vowed to engage with mutual respect.
It is being reported that Blinken extended an invitation to Bilawal to visit the US this month.
“An invitation was also extended by the Secretary of State for Pakistan’s participation in the Ministerial meeting on Global Food Security to be held in New York on 18 May 2022,” read a statement issued by the Foreign Office.
Building on the Pakistan-US cooperation in dealing with the Covid pandemic during the last two years, Secretary Blinken also invited Pakistan to the Second Global Covid Summit to be held virtually later this month.
