Shehbaz Sharif met the Russian President Vladimir Putin and said he was perfectly fine with Russia-India ties, but wants the same treatment from Moscow for Islamabad.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met the Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday (September 2). Sharif said that Islamabad respects Moscow’s relations with New Delhi and it's "perfectly fine," but also wants Russia to have the same ties with Pakistan. "We also want to build very strong relations, which would be supplementary and complementary to the progress and prosperity of the region," the Pakistani PM said.
He praised Putin and called him a "very dynamic leader" and expressed his willingness to work closely with him. Both leaders are set to attend a major Chinese military parade marking the 80th anniversary of Japan’s defeat in World War II.
“I know and I must say that I respect your relationship with India and it is perfectly fine, but we also want to build strong relations and these relations will be supplementary and complementary for the betterment of the region,” the Pakistan PM said.
