WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden has emphasised that an enduring partnership between Pakistan and the United States is crucial for global and regional stability.

Biden highlighted this key aspect of the bilateral relationship while accepting the letter of credence from Pakistan’s new envoy Rizwan Saeed Sheikh on Wednesday, marking the start of his tenure as the country’s 30th ambassador to the United States.

The formal ceremony took place at the president’s official guesthouse, the Blair House, with notable attendance from diplomatic and US administration officials.
