Remarks by Masood Khan
In addressing Pakistan-US regional ties, Masood Khan emphasized that Pakistan and the US will continue to promote their common agenda as long-standing strategic partners. Terrorism can only be defeated in this manner.
We will strengthen our economic relationships and boost trade, investment, and business. He noted the political atmosphere is suitable for that type of cooperation in 2023.
Concerning security, the Envoy said that the resurgence of ISIS and terrorist assaults by TTP against Pakistan need robust security collaboration between Pakistan and the US.
