LAHORE: US Ambassador to Pakistan Donald Blome called on PML-N President Nawaz Sharif and Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz here on Monday.

Matters of mutual interest, the promotion of Pakistan-US relations, and cooperation in various fields were discussed in the meeting, says a handout.

Speaking on the occasion, the chief minister said: “Pakistan and America have excellent cordial relations, and we are determined to further strengthen them. There is immense potential in Pakistan-US trade, which needs to be utilised.”
