Maryam Nawaz meets US ambassador Blome

ISLAMABAD: United States Ambassador to Pakistan Donald Blome on Sunday held a meeting with PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz.

The meeting was held at Maryam Nawaz’s residence in Murree. In a statement, the party said they discussed the importance of cooperation in various areas, including trade, the economy, security, peace, and regional stability.

The meeting centered on discussing the significance of the long-standing and historic bilateral ties between the two countries, it added.

Maryam Nawaz conveyed her gratitude to Ambassador Blome for his dedicated efforts on behalf of the United States during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic and the devastating floods that occurred last year.

The meeting comes as the party confirmed that Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan next month after spending nearly four years in self-exile in London.

Nawaz is expected to return on October 15 and face the cases against him apart from appealing his life-time disqualification from contesting elections.

Last month, the foreign office said that political leaders meeting foreign envoys was a “routine practice”. This statement came amid reports that PTI leaders met with diplomats seeking relief for party chairman Imran Khan.

The statement comes after reports on Pakistani media claimed that PTI leaders Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Barrister Ali Zafar and Rauf Hasan had a meeting with seven foreign envoys including US ambassador Donald Blome at the residence of Australian High Commissioner in the Diplomatic Enclave on
