'India desires peace in a region free of terror': Modi congratulates new Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif

New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday congratulated Shehbaz Sharif on being elected as the 23rd Prime Minister of Pakistan.

In his message to Sharif, PM Modi said India desires peace and stability in the region free of terror.

"Congratulations to H. E. Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on his election as the Prime Minister of Pakistan. India desires peace and stability in a region free of terror, so that we can focus on our development challenges and ensure the well-being and prosperity of our people," Modi wrote in a tweet.

Pakistan's key opposition leader and PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif was elected as the 23rd PM of Pakistan on Monday, starting a new political chapter in the history of the nation.

He was elected as the PM after 174 lawmakers voted in his favour as Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf MNAs boycotted the election.

The development in Pakistan politics followed two days after Imran Khan's tenure as PM of Pakistan ended through a no-confidence vote.
