Washington
DC: Ambassador of Pakistan to the United States, Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, met with
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) at the Capitol Hill today. The Ambassador
apprised the Senator, who is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee,
on Pakistan’s successes in the war against terrorism, besides briefing her on
Pakistan’s perspective on the situation in South Asia, including Afghanistan.
Ambassador
Chaudhry reiterated the importance of Pakistan and the United States working
together towards achieving their common strategic and regional objectives.
The
Ambassador said Pakistan saw peace and stability in Afghanistan as being vital
to its own national interests. Pakistan believed this would only be possible
through a political process, which was owned and led by Afghans themselves.
Ambassador
Chaudhry said Pakistan had turned the corner in the fight against terrorism
through comprehensive and indiscriminate operations against militants. As a
result, Pakistan’s border regions had been cleared of all terrorist groups. He
said Pakistan was ready to work with Afghanistan to manage the two countries’
border more vigilantly and prevent any illegal movement.
Senator
Warren thanked the Ambassador Chaudhry for his briefing and appreciated
Pakistan’s efforts and sacrifices in the war against terrorism.
