The prime minister said that Pakistain wanted to work with the United States to defeat the common enemy, which was not only the enemy of Pakistain and the United States but also of the entire civilised world.
The prime minister said that it was his primary responsibility to safeguard Pakistain's dignity and honour, adding that respect for illusory sovereignty and non-repeat of unilateral action were the very minimum that Pakistain expected. No war can be fought without the support of the people, said the PM.
The US ambassador, on this occasion, said that the common enemy must be defeated for which both countries needed to focus and cooperate with each other with commitment and single-mindedness. The convergence of interests between the two countries against the enemy provided the realistic basis and common ground to continue to collaborate and save the world from the curse of extremism and terrorism, he stated.
