Ahead of her scheduled visit to Pakistan, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman demanded of Islamabad to take action against all extremist groups, which has sought reconciliation with militants both at home and in Afghanistan.
Wendy Sherman will arrive in Pakistan for a two-day official visit on October 7. The State Dept No. 2 will meet on October 7-8 with officials in Pakistan in a first high-level visit of a senior US functionary since Biden administration took charge in Jan.
“We seek a strong partnership with Pakistan on counterterrorism and we expect sustained action against all militant and terrorist groups without distinction,” Sherman told reporters.
“Both of our countries have suffered terribly from the scourge of terrorism and we look forward to cooperative efforts to eliminate all regional and global terrorist threats,” she said from Switzerland, her first stop on a trip that will also take her to India and Uzbekistan.— Agencies
