British Home Secretary Sajid Javid has said he is looking forward to working with Pakistani authorities on their priorities.
He was responding to a journalist’s question about the possible handing over of Muttahida Qaumi Movement-London chief Altaf Hussain and sons of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who, according to the questioner, are wanted in their country and living in the UK.
“I had an excellent visit to Pakistan. It was really a good opportunity to strengthen our ties together. Britain has fantastic relations with Pakistan. With a new government there, we are looking forward to working with them (on all issues) including on their priorities. That is exactly what we are doing. We are working very hard on this,” Mr Javid said.
He said Brexit would provide the two countries a chance to strengthen their ties. “After Brexit we are going to be working with Pakistan like so many other countries. Britain is going to remain a globally outward-looking country, our friendly relations with Pakistan are going to be even stronger, in terms of trade, in terms of people, in so many ways,” he said.
