Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday congratulated Chris Hipkins on becoming the new prime minister of New Zealand.
In a tweet, the premier wrote he looked forward to working with him to strengthen and expand the relations between the two friendly countries. “I extend my best wishes to him,” he concluded.
Earlier Labour leader Chris Hipkins was sworn in as New Zealand’s prime minister in a formal ceremony on Wednesday, following the resignation of outgoing Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern last week.
