Sep 27(ABC): The US government has announced it will offer another $10 million to Pakistan for a food security programme, reported Tuesday.
Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari called on his US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the State Department building in Washington. The two leaders discussed bilateral ties and issues of mutual interest.
Bilawal, holding a joint press conference with Blinken following the meeting, said that diplomacy has returned between the State Department and the foreign ministry of Pakistan.
“It is indeed true that diplomacy is back between the US State Department and the foreign ministry of Pakistan,” he stressed.
The foreign minister said that Pakistan seeks help and cooperation from the US on climate justice. It was time for the green revolution to take place, he said, hoping that US President Joe Biden would lead it [the green revolution].
“Pakistan has experienced a climate catastrophe of biblical apocalyptic proportions,” he said.
“It rained from mid-June to the end of August in Pakistan. The rain finally stopped and a 100-kilometre lake was formed in the middle of my country.”
