New Delhi: Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif showed interest in developing good relations with India, the US, and China. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday reiterated the need for cooperation with the United States and India while assuring Beijing of further deepening of relations. Mending fences with the US would be one of the top foreign policy priorities for the new government.
According to Pakistan-based political experts, the Financially development of Pakistan is not possible without tieing good relations with big economies like India, the US, and Saudi Arabia.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki had earlier said that a democratic Pakistan was critical to US interests. Washington has denied the allegation.
