ISLAMABAD: A US affairs analyst said Sunday Washington has not invited Pakistan officially to President Trump's inauguration.

Speaking in Geo News programme "Jirga" hosted by Saleem Safi, Uzair Younus said PPP Chairman Bilawal and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi were going to attend the inauguration in their personal capacity.

Uzair said Pakistan is not on the US priority. However, he added, opportunity for relationship exists on the issues of Afghan Taliban, including the TTP, and Iran. Pakistan's role would be crucial but not to the extent expected by some people.
