It is important to remember that our nations share a common stance against terrorism. It remains imperative for us to see a safe and secure Pakistan. The reality is that we cannot have a safe and secure region without a safe and secure Pakistan. Our nations have made a lot of sacrifices in our shared fight against terrorism, and we sincerely appreciate all of Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to negate the threat of terrorism. We repeat what Secretary of State John Kerry said on Pakistan’s 68th Independence Day: “Our security partnership also remains critical. We support efforts by Pakistan’s civil society and government to stand up against extremists. We stand by your side in the struggle to develop a Pakistan where Pakistanis have a say and a stake in the nation’s success.”
