Today's Interservices Public Relations release...
Pakistan wants peace in Afghanistan and is committed to fighting terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, said Interior Minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao on Monday. Talking to US Ambassador to Pakistan Ryan C Crocker who called on him at his office, he said that the US and Pakistan were allies in the war against terrorism and would continue to play a “proactive role in the war until terrorism is eliminated from the world”.

Sherpao said that the government attached the highest priority to its relations with the US and appreciated its role in capacity building of various government institutions, especially the Frontier Corps. “Pakistan, under the leadership of President General Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, is rapidly moving forward on the path of economic growth and development,” he said. Referring to the Pak-Afghan joint jirga commission constituted to strengthen relations between both countries, he said that the next meeting of the jirga would be held in Kabul.
