Olson met with Nawaz in Lahore and congratulated him on his victory in the general elections.
The ambassador also met with caretaker Punjab Chief Minister Najam Sethi during his visit to Lahore, according to the statement from the American Embassy.
On Monday, Nawaz promised Pakistan’s ‘full support’ as the US withdraws combat troops from Afghanistan.
“If there are concerns on either side I think we should address those concerns and strengthen this relationship,” Sharif said, referring to Pakistan’s alliance with the United States which can be notoriously difficult.

Your Excellency,but for how long ? Our past experience is very bitter & Sir,one doesn't foresee any tangible & different out come particularly after your partial departure from Afghanistan.
Dear Syed Ahsan,
It is a great sign to see our officials meet and emphasize the importance of maintaining cordial ties. Our decade long partnership has proven the importance of remaining unified on our shared goals. We’ve seen the benefits of combining our strength, and at the same time, we’ve seen the negatives of staying on the opposite sides of the fence. We are still faced with certain challenges in the region, and therefore, it is imperative for us to be on the same page in regards to our common objectives. We’ve made mistakes in the past, but meetings like these prove that we are committed to a healthy partnership between our nations.
