The United States has also expressed its willingness to collaborate with Pakistan in the development of effective strategies aimed at bolstering the nation's efforts to combat various manifestations of violent extremism.
In a statement made by the US State Department Spokesperson, Matthew Miller, it was underscored that both countries continue to grapple with the relentless menace of terrorism, which often targets innocent civilians. Miller conveyed heartfelt condolences to the victims of recent devastating attacks in Pakistan, emphasizing the profound sympathy felt for those who lost their lives and the hope for a swift recovery for the injured.
Moreover, Miller acknowledged the immense suffering endured by the people of Pakistan due to terrorist attacks, asserting their rightful freedom to practice their faith without living in fear. He extended condolences to the grieving families who lost their loved ones in these tragic events. Miller also shed light on the collaborative efforts between the United States and Pakistan on multiple fronts within the realm of counterterrorism. These efforts encompass participation in various international forums, the designation of terrorist organizations, and the formulation of global strategies aimed at eradicating the scourge of terrorism.
Furthermore, Miller highlighted a pivotal moment in the ongoing partnership between the United States and Pakistan—the high-level counter-terrorism dialogue held earlier in the year. During this dialogue, representatives from both nations engaged in comprehensive discussions regarding the shared threats posed by terrorism. These talks resulted in the exploration of diverse avenues for cooperation, particularly in areas like enhancing border security and disrupting terrorist financing channels. The commitment of both nations to fostering a safer, more secure environment for their citizens was evident in their collaborative efforts to tackle the multifaceted challenges posed by extremism and terrorism.
