Actor Adnan Siqqidui recently shared a picture of him out
and about with fellow actor Imran Ashraf and US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who
was recently in Pakistan. Providing some insight into their conversation,
Siddiqui shared, “Had a wonderful conversation on several thoughtful topics,
including geopolitics, entertainment, culture and food with the amazing Ilhan
Omar, the first Somali-American and one of the first two Muslim women in the US
house.”
The actor also shared that Omar accepted his invitation to
the US premiere of his upcoming production Dum Mastam, which stars Ashraf
alongside Amar Khan. He concluded the caption with, “Wishing her safe travels.”
On Wednesday, Omar said that the US valued its ties with
Pakistan as both countries were partners in progress for the last seven
decades, and assured the Pakistani top leadership that Washington would
continue to support Islamabad in various fields.
Leading a US delegation, Omar, a Muslim member of the House
of Representatives, began a five-day visit to Pakistan, by holding separate
meetings with President Arif Alvi, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, National
Assembly Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf and State Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani
Khar. Omar also met former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)
Chairman Imran Khan at his Bani Gala residence.
Congresswoman Omar stressed that Pakistan and the US had
huge potential to improve and strengthen their bilateral relations. She
appreciated the role played by Pakistan against Islamophobia, particularly
towards the adoption of a resolution on the issue at the United Nations.
