Following Donald Trump’s re-election as the 47th President of the United States, Pakistani leaders extended congratulations, expressing hopes for enhanced diplomatic relations. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif congratulated Trump on X (formerly Twitter), noting the “historic victory” and affirming a commitment to work closely with the incoming administration to strengthen Pakistan-US ties.

Imran Khan, the incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder, also congratulated Trump, emphasizing the resilience of the American people in the election process. He voiced optimism that the new administration would prioritize peace and human rights globally.

PTI Leader of the Opposition Omar Ayub Khan extended his congratulations as well, emphasizing the potential for improved relations between Pakistanis and Americans. The PTI’s official account echoed this sentiment, contrasting the US election with Pakistan’s political environment, where they claim public mandate concerns.

Pakistan Peoples Party Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari also congratulated Trump and his team, acknowledging the victory as a significant comeback. Bilawal expressed optimism that the administration would work toward regional and global peace and cooperation.
