Washington : Pakistan and the United States have reaffirmed their shared commitment to intensifying cooperation against terrorism, pledging to work together to counter militant organisations that pose threats to both nations and undermine regional peace and security.
The renewed commitment came during the fourth round of the US-Pakistan Counterterrorism Dialogue, held in Washington, DC, on Tuesday.
The Pakistani delegation was led by Ambassador Nabeel Munir, Special Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while the US side was headed by Ambassador Gregory LoGerfo, the US Coordinator for Counterterrorism.
During the discussions, both sides identified ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K), Al-Qa’ida, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), along with its affiliated factions, as major security threats requiring continued joint attention.
The dialogue reflected the importance both countries attach to their longstanding counterterrorism partnership and their determination to strengthen collaboration in response to evolving security challenges.
Officials reviewed the current regional terrorism landscape, exchanged views on expanding intelligence and operational coordination, and discussed measures to enhance border security while disrupting terrorist networks and their support structures.
Concluding the talks, Pakistan and the United States reiterated their resolve to maintain close cooperation in counterterrorism efforts, stressing that sustained collaboration is essential for safeguarding their citizens and promoting lasting peace, stability, and prosperity in the region.
