WASHINGTON: The United States welcomed the swearing-in of Pakistan's new Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday as a "significant milestone" in the South Asian nation's democracy.
"We look forward to working with him and the newly democratically elected government of Pakistan," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
"The United States stands with all Pakistanis in welcoming this historic, largely peaceful and transparent transfer of civilian power, which is a significant milestone in Pakistan's democratic progress."
