WASHINGTON/ISLAMABAD: The State Department announced that Pakistan and the United States will hold a comprehensive dialogue on counter-terrorism, amid a resurgence in Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) attacks after the Afghan Taliban took power in Afghanistan in 2021.
In a statement released on Friday, the two countries will work together to develop policy-oriented strategies to enhance cooperation in critical areas such as border security and countering the financing of terrorism.
Leading the US inter-agency delegation is Christopher Landberg, Acting Coordinator for Counter-terrorism. The delegation is set to visit Pakistan on March 6-7 to participate in the Pakistan-US counter-terrorism dialogue.
The State Department emphasized that the dialogue will focus on the shared terrorist threats facing the two countries. It is a crucial step towards developing effective strategies to address the worsening law and order situation in Pakistan, which has witnessed a surge in terror incidents in recent times.
The United States has assured Pakistan of its support in dealing with the challenges posed by terrorism. The forthcoming dialogue is expected to provide a platform for both countries to reaffirm their commitment to combat terrorism and enhance cooperation in the fight against this common threat.
