ISLAMABAD:

A delegation of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) led by former president Asif Ali Zardari called upon newly elected premier Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday in Islamabad, said a statement released by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). 

Former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was also part of the delegation which congratulated Shehbaz on his newly assumed position and conveyed their good wishes. 

The former president assured PM Shehbaz about the PPP’s support for the new government and its efforts towards economic stability, development, and prosperity of the country.

“I am deeply grateful to Almighty God and the people who have once again allowed me to serve Pakistan,” the statement quoted the premier.

Shehbaz also expressed his gratitude to allied parties. “I am thankful for the trust of our allied parties in the NA for electing me.”
