ISLAMABAD: US Secretary of State Michael R Pompeo, on behalf of the United States government, has extended best wishes to people of Pakistan on the Independence Day, besides expressing desire to work with the government of Pakistan to advance the shared goals.

“On behalf of the government of the United States of America, I would like to extend my best wishes to the people of Pakistan as they celebrate their Independence Day,” a statement released by the US embassy in Islamabad Tuesday quoted Pompeo as saying.
