Pakistan's incoming prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday reached out to India and the United States, pledging to strengthen relations after his thumping victory in landmark elections. Sharif promised Pakistan's "full support" as the United States withdraws combat troops from Afghanistan next year and made overtures to nuclear rival India in a briefing with the foreign media at his family estate outside Lahore.
"If there are concerns on either side I think we should address those concerns and strengthen this relationship," Sharif told journalists, referring to Pakistan's alliance with the United States which can be notoriously difficult.
