US delegation to visit Pakistan for talks on Counterterrorism
|
[KhaamaPress] The U.S. State Department has announced that a high-level American delegation, led by Eric Meyer, head of the South and Central Asia Bureau, will visit Pakistain from April 8 to 10. The visit aims to enhance bilateral cooperation in counterterrorism and explore economic partnerships, especially in the mining sector.
In a statement released on Saturday, April 6, the State Department said Meyer will represent U.S. interests at Pakistain’s Mineral Investment Forum, focusing on critical minerals and long-term investment opportunities. The forum is expected to provide a platform for dialogue on shared resource development.
During his visit to Islamabad, Meyer will hold meetings with senior Pak officials to strengthen economic ties between the two countries and reinforce collaborative frameworks. The talks will emphasize sustainable development, regional stability, and investment in key sectors.
The State Department further stated that counterterrorism cooperation remains a core agenda item. Both countries share common interests in maintaining regional security, and ongoing partnerships in identifying and neutralizing threats are vital to that effort.
Previous U.S.-Pakistain collaboration yielded significant results, including the arrest of Mohammad Sharifullah, identified as the criminal mastermind behind the August 2021 Kabul airport attack, which killed 13 U.S. troops and over 170 Afghans during the American military withdrawal. The arrest was made possible through intelligence sharing between both countries.
Sharifullah, an Afghan national, was apprehended near the Afghanistan-Pakistain border and later transferred to U.S. custody. The arrest was publicly acknowledged by both U.S. officials and Pak Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, highlighting the depth of operational cooperation between the two governments.
This upcoming visit by Eric Meyer underscores the U.S.’s renewed interest in building a strategic economic and security partnership with Pakistain. As regional threats evolve, the United States continues to view Islamabad as a key player in maintaining stability in South and Central Asia.
That’s certainly one view of the proceedings. Or it could be that the Pakistani government will be presented with an offer they cannot refuse. Not something I would place a bet on at this point.
