Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Masood Khan on Sunday said a strong Pak-US partnership will serve the interests of peace, security and stability of the region, and across the world. He said this during a meeting with retired US General David H Petraeus in Washington. During the meeting, the ambassador thanked General Petraeus for his contributions towards strengthening the Pak-US relations. He also said that he looks forward to working with the US general to promote Pak-US economic ties.
