ISLAMABAD: Pakistani and American officials held another round of strategic talks in Islamabad on Thursday to discuss issues of mutual importance to both countries at the sixth session of the Strategic Stability, and Nonproliferation (SSS&NP) Working Group.
The session was attended by Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, Pakistan's Additional Secretary for United Nations and Economic Coordination Ambassador and Rose Gottemoeller, the Acting Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security .
The issues discussed during the meeting included international efforts to enhance nuclear security and peaceful applications of nuclear energy.
The delegates further discussed nonproliferation challenges in terms of chemical and biological weapons, export controls, and the importance of regional stability and security.
The SSS&NP Working Group is part of the US.-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue, which was re-energised during Secretary of State John Kerry’s trip to Pakistan in August.
It follows a meeting of the Energy Working Group in Washington DC, on November 12.
The meeting of the Working Group came amid an uproar over drone strikes, on the same day, that killed six people including four militant commanders of the Haqqani Network as well as two children.
It was the first drone strike since the last drone attack three weeks ago that killed Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Hakimullah Mehsud.
pmln cyber squad should ask what barahamdagh and company also fazal ullah and hakim ullahs brother and company is doing in Afghanistan or some who migrated were doing there before justifying drone attacks
As i said can Pak army eliminate these stooges via any means possible in Afghanistan .The answer is no
both countries have proxies and Afghanistan is used by india,kabuli intelligence and others to de stabilize Pakistan so why ask that haqannis are here .
pakarmy killing innocent tribals of imran & munnawar in afghanistan, what a bad idea, because after that, MUNNAWAR & IMRAN can claim that, its pakarmy who dont want peace talks ? nice trap?
yes WAKE UP PAKISTANIS , & ASK IMRAN & MUNNAWAR TO STOP USAID , INTO KPK GOVT?
& tell KPK CM to join, the dharna ?
because he was not joining, to keep the flow of USAID in to kpk, govts accounts ?
dont spoil ur times, nothing will reach with this political show, just IMRAN & MUNNAWAR may get more of USAID in thier kpk govts accounts ?
