WASHINGTON: A senior US lawmaker urged the Biden administration on Sunday to rebuild the ‘incredibly important’ relationship with Pakistan.
Senator Chris Murphy, who chairs the Senate Subcommittee on Near East, South Asia, Central Asia, and Counterterrorism, said the two nations should stay engaged with each other in both good and bad times.
“As with every bilateral relationship, there are ups and downs but this one has endured the test of time and I look forward to continuing to grow it for the next 75 years,” he said in a special message on the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the United States and Pakistan.
Pakistan’s US Ambassador Sardar Masood Khan appreciated Senator Murphy’s gesture, noting that he was a true friend of Pakistan on the Hill and a strong advocate of closer US-Pakistan ties.
“This relationship will bounce back with economic content at the centre,” the ambassador added.
Senator Murphy pointed out that Pak-US relations were ‘incredibly important’ and this importance was recognised by the Senate as well. Highlighting the contributions of the US towards socio-economic development of Pakistan, Senator Murphy said that “we have devoted significant resources through USAID projects to build up Pakistani democracy and to work together on joint security projects”.

US -Pakistan ties:-

As for the image in the ties - Pakistan put itself there. It had ample opportunity to go toe to tow with US policies and develop mutual respect and understanding. Unfortunately, India gained independence while Pakistan lost Quaid e Azam so it went back to being subservient

the problem is every entity, either it is political, right wing, left wing, institutions etc etc. all think their own way of driving the country and keep pulling leg of each other. we are doing this since fifties. then there are mafias everywhere whom we let grow and get stronger.

then we find it easy to blame US, even if it is your brother, he will take advantage of your weaknesses.

we are standing naked infront of US with so much blunders and so much boot licking that it is not acceptable to them if we raise a voice and they will not let this privilege go easy.
