Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has conveyed warm felicitations to President Vladimir Putin on his successful re-election as the President of Russia.
In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), Prime Minister Sharif expressed his congratulations to President Putin, recognizing his victory in the recent Russian presidential election. He underscored the importance of the robust bilateral relationship between Pakistan and Russia, expressing his eagerness to collaborate with President Putin’s administration to further strengthen and deepen the ties between the two nations.
President Vladimir Putin secured an overwhelming victory in the Russian presidential election, securing a remarkable 88% of the vote. With his re-election, Putin is poised to extend his leadership tenure for another six years, marking a significant milestone in Russia’s political landscape.
However, the election results have faced skepticism and refusal to recognize from several Western countries, including the United States, Great Britain, and Ukraine, who have criticized the fairness of the elections.
In response to Western criticism, President Putin cautioned against Western interference in Ukraine and NATO intervention, warning that such actions could escalate tensions and lead to potential conflicts. He dismissed Western criticism as predictable, reaffirming his commitment to advancing Russia’s progress despite external pressures.
