U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has spoken by phone with Pakistan’s army chief to discuss political reconciliation in Afghanistan and other issues.
A statement released by State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert says Pompeo and Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa discussed ways to advance U.S.-Pakistani bilateral relations, the need for political reconciliation in Afghanistan and the importance of targeting all militant and terrorist groups in South Asia without distinction.
However, Pakistan-Washington relations blurred after Trump announced the new US strategy for Afghanistan and south Asia, and both sides blame each other for supporting terrorism.
