We send our deepest condolences to the victims' family and friends. Thousands of innocent people, including security personnel, have fallen victim to the acts of terror inside Pakistan. This is not the first time these terrorists have claimed responsibility for their criminal actions. It is important for Pakistan to hold these repeat criminals responsible for their actions and not let conspiracy theories overshadow their crimes. Pakistani security forces are working hard to counter the growing threat of terrorism in the country. We have full confidence in their ability to restore peace in the country. We have always emphasized Pakistan's importance in the region, and it remains our desire to see peace prevail throughout the region, especially Pakistan.
