Washington: The United States has said that Nawaz Sharif’s decision to invite Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is a “positive sign”, and it willingness to work with the new government in Pakistan.

“He looks forward to continuing a broad relationship of working together on a number of issues, including continuing to work on counterterrorism. Mr Sharif has indicated that economic development and growth is one of his focuses. But their focus right now is, of course, on forming the government. And once they do that, I’m sure we’ll have more substantive conversations with them,” she said.
