The uncertain situation in regards to the ‘peace talks’ has left many perplexed at the moment. But we certainly remain hopeful for positive outcome, and have full confidence in Pakistani government’s ability to restore peace in the country. Our forces are also working hard to ensure a smooth transition across the border, and it is our wish and desire to see a safe and secure Pakistan for the sake of achieving our shared peace objectives in the region. We repeat what Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said recently in regards to instability and insecurity in the region resulted from the killing of innocent people: “This is a threat that we share with Pakistan, and continue to want to work with Pakistan to try to eradicate it.”
