ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) will continue to support the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz-led (PML-N) government in the Centre during its five-year long tenure, Express News reported Thursday.
President Zardari said this at his farewell lunch hosted by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif at the Prime Minister House.
"Muslim countries around the globe are facing immense problems and in order to save ourselves from various threats, we have to join hands and stay united," Zardari emphasised.
President Zardari, while recalling Benazir Bhutto's tenure as the prime minister, said: “I did not feel like coming to the PM house today as it reminded me of my wife and children who were arrested from this place.”
Nawaz also spoke on the occasion and commended President Zardari and the role he played after Benazir's death. He also said that he want President Zardari to leave with pleasant memories.

Good to see smiling faces from both major political parties. This will strengthen democracy and democratic norms. Side Kick parties might make fun of this farewell party but this also shows will to hold tight reigns of democracy which is the only way to move forward in letter and spirit.

No matter what people say about him, he will always be my hero. Long live Asif Zardari.
If you voted PTI then PPP will again be in power. PPP and PTI are different faces of same coins. Nawas Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif. I hope that Mr Mamnoon Hussain may serve the Pakistan just like President Zardari did. Nawaz Sharif
It is a good gesture shown by two matured political parties of Pakistan.
People of Pakistan are waiting to welcome the President-Elect Mr. Mamnoon Hussain on September 09, 2013 being the first working day as President of Pakistan Mr. Mamnoon Hussain.

When will the love affair between PML-N and PPP end? Zardari is done looting the country... I suppose those are pleasant memories Nawaz is referring to. This country has become the epitome of embarrassment...thanks to these two.
