"The two leaders expressed concern over violence along the Line of Control, and noted their support for confidence-building measures and effective mechanisms that are acceptable to both parties. The leaders emphasized the importance of a sustained and resilient dialogue process between the two neighbors aimed at resolving all outstanding territorial and other disputes, including Kashmir, through peaceful means and working together to address mutual concerns of India and Pakistan regarding terrorism"
This was enough for us. What were you expecting that they would call out Indian PMs name in the joint statement? or were they gonna directly fly to New Dehli together and sort this out like Frat boys.
Failure really ?
"President Obama affirmed Pakistann's role as a key counter-terrorism partner and recognized the sacrifices that Pakistani civilians, military, and law enforcement personnel have made over the years as they confront terrorism and militant groups. The President expressed particular appreciation for Pakistann's ongoing support to degrade and ultimately defeat al-Qan'ida and its affiliates, noting that this partnership has helped to decimate the groupn's leadership and operational capacity and has disrupted plots against the U.S. homeland. The President also honored the sacrifices of the Pakistani security forces in Operation Zarb-e-Azb and other operations, which have degraded the ability of militants to plan and execute terrorist attacks and noted further steps being taken in this regard in line with the National Action Plan. In turn, the Prime Minister thanked the United States for its support in bolstering Pakistann's counter-terrorism capacity. "
No more "do more do more ". No more blaming us for every firecracker that goes off in Afghanistan. No more accusations or scapegoating.
" President Obama commended Pakistan for hosting and facilitating the first public talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban in July 2015 and highlighted the opportunity presented by Pakistann's willingness to facilitate a reconciliation process that would help end insurgent violence in Afghanistan. "
