If you look at the series of recent meetings between our officials then it becomes quite apparent that both nations place great importance on maintaining a healthy working relationship. We are not dismissing that no challenges remain in regards to achieving our shared objectives, instead, we are pointing to the fact that both nations continue to meet to address our shared goals and prevent any possible issues from arising. Moreover, During PM Nawaz Sharif’s visit to the U.S. last week, President Obama and Prime Minister Sharif renewed their common resolve to promote peace and stability throughout the region and to counter all forms of extremism and terrorism.President Obama affirmed Pakistan’s role as a key counterterrorism partner and recognized the sacrifices that Pakistani civilians, military, and law enforcement personnel have made over the years as they confront terrorism and militant groups.
