US Ambassador, Anne W Patterson met with the MQM leadership in Azizabad here on Friday and expressed US government's resolve to "interact and consult with all democratic forces" of the country, says a press release.
"The United States is committed to cooperate with the newly installed elected government on a wide range of issues that are important to both the countries," Patterson told the MQM leadership present at the Khurshid Memorial Hall.
