US President Barack Obama today telephoned Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and informed him about his forthcoming visit to India, as the two leaders discussed bilateral ties and the regional situation.

The Pakistan prime minister's office said that President Obama informed Sharif of his forthcoming visit to India in January to attend India's republic Day Parade as the chief guest. During the call, Sharif recalled an invitation he extended to Obama last year in Washington and conveyed the expectation of the people of Pakistan to welcome the US president to the country some time in the future.

"The president also assured the prime minister that he would undertake a visit to Pakistan at an early date, as soon as the situation normalises in the country," the prime minister's office said in a statement.
