"I think in president-elect Donald Trump you've got someone, who is prepared to advance America's interests here at home, to rebuild this economy, to fight for American jobs," he said.

"But I think you're also going to see an energetic leadership in the world, prepared to engage and to look for ways that he can bring those extraordinary deal-making skills to bear on lessening tensions and solving problems in the world," he added.

Referring to recent tensions between India and Pakistan, Pence said Trump wanted to make sure that both countries "know that when this administration takes office, that we intend to be fully engaged in the region and fully engaged with both nations to advance peace and security".

Pence further said there had "been great tension between India and Pakistan in recent days. It's resulted in violence along the Kashmir region".

During his conversations with leaders of India and Pakistan, Trump had expressed "a desire for continued US engagement on building the relationship with both of those countries".
