Sharif also said he will raise the issue of US drone strikes during his meeting with Obama.
“Pakistan raised its concern in UNGA meeting, and the world appreciated it. Again in my official visit to US I will reiterate the same message,” he said.
Key bilateral issues besides the Afghan drawdown and Indo-Pak ties are likely to be discussed during his keenly awaited meeting with Obama.
This will be the first bilateral official visit of the Prime Minister to the US in his present term.
It is also the first official visit of a Pakistani Prime Minister to the US in 5 years. Sharif had visited New York last month but it was for the UN General Assembly
