WASHINGTON Oct 19 (TNS): Pakistan ambassador to the United States, Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, called on US Senator Elizabeth Warren at the Capitol Hill on Wednesday and apprised her on Pakistan’s successes in the war against terrorism.
Aizaz Chaudhry also briefed Elizabeth Warren, who is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, on Pakistan’s perspective on the situation in South Asia, including Afghanistan.
Ambassador Chaudhry reiterated the importance of Pakistan and the United States working together towards achieving their common strategic and regional objectives.
Aizaz Chaudhry said that peace and stability in Afghanistan is vital for Pakistan’s own national interests. He said that Pakistan believed this would only be possible through a political process, which was owned and led by Afghans themselves.
Ambassador Chaudhry said Pakistan had turned the corner in the fight against terrorism through comprehensive and indiscriminate operations against militants. As a result, Pakistan’s border regions had been cleared of all terrorist groups. He said Pakistan was ready to work with Afghanistan to manage the two countries’ border more vigilantly and prevent any illegal movement.
Senator Warren thanked the Ambassador Chaudhry for his briefing and appreciated Pakistan’s efforts and sacrifices in the war against terrorism
