British High Commission Political Counselor Zoe Ware met Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President and Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz at Model Town on Wednesday and discussed matters of mutual interest.
The envoy expressed sorrow and grief over the loss of lives in Peshawar blast and expressed solidarity with the people of Pakistan over the incident. Maryam said that every Pakistani was sad over the suicide attack on Peshawar mosque, adding that terrorism was a common threat and could be combated through joint efforts. Pakistan had been bearing human and infrastructure losses in the war against terrorism, she added. Maryam said that continuity of democracy and holding elections on time were pivotal for the country and to tackle the challenges.
The PML-N SVC said that the incumbent coalition government had been taking all out measures to provide assistance to the victims of recent floods; however, the world community should extend its support to Pakistani people in the hard times. She thanked the UK government and its organisations for extending help to the flood victims and stressed the need for further strengthening mutual links in various fields.
Maryam said that overseas Pakistanis in the UK were also playing key role in cementing mutual relations between the two friendly countries.
Zoe Ware congratulated Maryam Nawaz over getting new role in the party and expressed good wishes for her.
