WASHINGTON: The Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif has said that no other Country can match Pakistan’s commitment and successes in a fight against terrorism.
During an interaction with the US & International media based in Washington DC, the foreign minister said that Pakistan’s armed forces have done extremely well in counter terrorism operations.
The minister said that Pakistan greatly values its relationship with the United States in seven-decade long history of result oriented cooperation, and we want to build a relationship founded on mutual respect.
“We firmly believe that through consistent, structured and constructive engagement at political and diplomatic levels, both Pakistan and the US can continue to work together for the common goal of peace, stability and prosperity in South Asia,” the minister said.
The foreign minister said that we also see enormous investment & business opportunities in Pakistan for corporate America, particularly after Pakistan’s remarkable successes in war against terror & significant reduction in terrorist incidents in the country.
Asif further said that Pakistan is extremely concerned about safe havens of terrorists who are mostly operating from ungoverned spaces in Afghanistan which are more than 40 percent of the total area of the Country.
The minister said that a number of terrorists attacks in Pakistan in recent months have been traced back to these elements operating from these bases in Afghanistan.
