[DAWN] The United States affirmed on Wednesday Pakistain's claim that the military operation in North Wazoo had disrupted hard boys. At the 23rd meeting of the US-Pakistain Defence Consultative Group, the two countries also stressed the need for creating a mechanism for reimbursing Pakistain after the expiry of the Coalition Support Fund. The fund expired this year. "Both delegations affirmed the significance of the Pakistain military's ongoing North Waziristan operation, which the US side affirmed has disrupted hard boys," said a joint statement issued after the meeting. The two sides also agreed to "continue providing Pakistain's counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency requirements which will inform the provision of security assistance". The United States and Pakistain also "discussed the importance of a mechanism to reimburse Pakistain for operational expenses after Coalition Support Funds expire at the end of fiscal year 2015," the statement said. |
