US says will play role in Indo-Pak dialogue: Gilani
|
[Geo News] The United States would play a role in resumption of Pakistan-India dialogue for the resolution of all their outstanding issues including the core issue of Kashmir.
This was stated by Senator Thomas Carper, leader of the US Senate delegation comprising Senator Mark Udall, Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Senator Kay Hagan and Senator Mark Bagich during their meeting with Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani at the Prime Minister House here Tuesday afternoon.
The US Senators pledged their support for expediting disbursement of the humanitarian assistance for the dislocated people of Swat and other areas of Malakand Division.
The delegation assured that the US would also assist Pakistan in capacity building of its security and law enforcement agencies to augment their strength in the campaign against extremism and terrorism.
The Prime Minister informed the US Senators about the necessity of the military operation in Swat and other areas of Malakand Division. He also highlighted his government's efforts to cater for the growing needs of dislocated persons.
The Prime Minister said that Pakistan was involved in two fronts in which on the one hand a full fledged operation was underway to clear these areas from militants while on the other hand it was trying to cope with the large number of displaced persons, the number of which has now exceeded 2.7 million.
The Prime Minister while dilating on the immediate needs of Pakistan noted that very little of the pledged international assistance had so far been received. He emphasized that Pakistan in that eventuality would require enhanced assistance from the international community particularly of the US.
The Friends of Democratic Pakistan should take into account the ground realities to strengthen the hands of Pakistan in the global war against terrorism, he added.
He called for strengthening of intelligence sharing and increased cooperation between Pakistan and the US to effectively counter the menace of terrorism and extremism.
