Referring to the problems in relations of the previous government of Pakistan with neighbouring countries, including Iran and India, Bakhatar news agency wrote, "These are all challenges that show that the new prime minister has a lot of work to do."

In this analytical article, Shehbaz Sharif, the new prime minister of Pakistan is mentioned as an experienced politician and it has been stated, "A number of Pakistani politicians and soldiers had an adventurous view of the current system of Afghanistan and have made many accusations and caused problems for the country."

As per the note, the previous government of Pakistan had linked its internal problems to the Taliban.

Bakhtar news agency wrote that the Taliban has a positive view toward its neighbour and expects the new government of Pakistan to follow a path for constructive cooperation with neighbouring countries and Afghanistan.

It added that the decision to deport Afghan refugees from Pakistan has been a "hasty decision".

Shehbaz Sharif became the 24th Prime Minister of Pakistan on Sunday winning the majority of the National Assembly's votes against Omar Ayub Khan from the Tehreek-e-Insaf party.
