A spokesman for the U.S. State Department, Ned Price, said the US and Pakistan were working together to make Afghanistan a more stable and secure country that respected the rights of all of its people, including minorities, women, and girls.
They didn’t say anything about the Pakistani airstrikes on Afghan terrorists that were said to have taken place on Monday.
If you want to know more about the reports that Pakistani planes have been flying over Afghanistan, you should ask the Pakistani government, Price said.
On April 17, Pakistan’s Foreign Office said in a statement that the number of attacks on its security forces from Afghanistan had gone up a lot. They also called on the Taliban to take action against the militants.
“We see Pakistan as an important stakeholder,” Price said. “We will work with Pakistan to bring about a more stable, more secure, more prosperous, and most importantly, more peaceful Afghanistan that respects the basic and fundamental rights of its people,” he said. “We will work with Pakistan to bring about a more stable Afghanistan.”
Over the past nearly 75 years, the US and Pakistan have had a “vital” relationship. “We look forward to working with the new government in Pakistan on regional and international issues,” he said.
In the past, we’ve congratulated the new Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif. We look forward to working with his government, the spokesman said.
