The United States has said that a prosperous and strong, democratic Pakistan is critical to US interests.

At a daily press briefing in Washington, State Department spokesman Vedant Patel said in the interest of the Pakistan-US relations, the United States does not have a favorite candidate or a favorite political party in Pakistan.

He said the US is looking to continue to strengthen economic ties between the two countries with collaboration in areas of security, renewable energy, climate crisis, and increasing agricultural trade.
