ISLAMABAD: The United States State Department explained the US Ambassador Donald Blome’s meeting with Chief Election Commissioner in Islamabad.
Spokesperson David Miller affirmed its neutrality regarding any specific political party in Pakistan. He also highlighted the US stance of having no position on the outcome of election results.
In a press briefing, State Department Spokesperson said he lacked specific details about Ambassador Donald Blome’s meeting with the CEC in Islamabad. Nonetheless, he mentioned that the US embassy in Pakistan could provide the requested information willingly.
