Dialogue with Pakistan ‘very successful, much broader’: US
WASHINGTON: The US had a ‘successful’ strategic dialogue with Pakistan this week, which characterised a “much different, broader relationship based on mutual interest and respect,” the US State Department said on Friday. “We have gone beyond the security lens that had been and remains a key component, but not just now the only lens through which you can evaluate the US-Pakistani relationship,” State for Public Affairs Assistant Secretary PJ Crowley said. He was speaking a day after the US, led by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Pakistan, led by Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, concluded two days of extensive discussions on advancing partnership between the two countries. The civilian component of the strategy is geared towards identifying ways to meet the needs working with Pakistan. app
