Pak anti-terror determination should not be doubted: Haqqani
WASHINGTON: Pakistani Ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani on Wednesday asked the critics of Pakistan’s anti-terrorism performance not to judge its resolve by the Afghan war leaks but view it in the context of current unified efforts, marked by Pakistan’s countless sacrifices and unprecedented level of cooperation with the US and Afghanistan.
Haqqani, appearing in the Charlie Rose Show, also drew attention to the importance of addressing Pakistan’s regional concerns vis-a-vis India. He also said that Islamabad would be deeply worried, if the US somehow suddenly pulled out from its insurgency-hit western neighbour, Afghanistan, in a replay of the situation that happened in the late 1980s when the US left the region immediately after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan. The envoy said that as emphasised by US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen, the US and Pakistan had made substantive improvement in enhancing the bilateral ties during the Zardari-Gilani regime. app
