U.S. Supports Pakistan’s ‘Constitutional Democratic Principles’
On Monday, the United States voiced support for Pakistan’s “peaceful upholding of constitutional democratic principles”.
This was after the country’s new prime minister took office.
Shehbaz Sharif was sworn-in after former Premier Imran Khan was ousted in a no-confidence vote.
Khan attempted to thwart the vote and maintained he was the victim of a U.S. plot to remove him.
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Washington does not “support one political party over another.”
The U.S. has “always viewed a prosperous and democratic Pakistan as critical to US interests,” she said.
Sharif is the younger brother of three-time former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
He was selected by the combined opposition, which secured 174 votes in Pakistan’s 342-member National Assembly.
