The U.S., Pakistan and Afghanistan share a common stance against terrorism and continue to make common sacrifices in our fight against terrorism. Our shared quest for peace often gets overlooked as many begin to indulge in the blame game and conspiracy theories. The fact of the matter is that our success in regards to our shared peace objectives in the region is directly tied to each other’s success. Those who are working to destabilize the region also see our nations as a common threat. It is in our best interests to maintain a healthy partnership and cooperate and coordinate to restore peace in the region.
We restate what General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr., Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, said regarding the importance of the region’s security, stability and partnership: “It is in our interests to have an enduring partnership with Pakistan. As our mission in Afghanistan transitions, there remains a need for our mutually beneficial relationship. Pakistan has cooperated with the US in our operations against al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations. Their actions in North Waziristan and other areas of western Pakistan have disrupted groups that are a threat to US personnel and objectives in Afghanistan.”
General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. added that the US “will need to continue cooperation to defeat al Qaeda, support Pakistan’s stability and achieve lasting peace in Afghanistan.”
