America Is Positive About Pakistan’s Taken Steps to Eliminate Terrorism: US Official

WASHINGTON: The United States has favored Pakistan with acknowledged remarks that civil and military leaders have taken steps to eliminate terrorism.

On Wednesday a senior US Official reporters said that Washington had no desire to engage in the internal politics of Pakistan, but had been waiting for the country's civilian and military leaders to correct it

“We support the civilian government. We support the nascent democratic system there,” the official said.

We agree with Prime Minister Imran Khan saying things right and to make a number of changes in Pakistan, "he added." But only time will say whether he succeeded.

“We support the fact that Prime Mister Imran Khan says right things and appears to be trying to make some changes within Pakistan,” he added. “But only time will tell if he is successful in doing that.”

He added “So, we do appreciate that Pakistan is saying the right thing, has taken the initial steps that we’re looking for, but we reserve judgement because we have seen backtracking in the past,”

The official noted that Prime Minister Khan was “very public about wanting stability in the region, pointing out how important that is for Pakistanis to prosper and to have economic development which is one of his core campaign promises”.

The Pakistani Prime Minister directly linked this objective to Pakistan's ability to tackle border militancy.
