US commends Pakistan for not differentiating between terrorist groups
Washington: The US commended Pakistan’s commitment not to differentiate between terrorist groups including those targeting India, as Pakistan assured it had reached out to India as part of its policy of peaceful neighbourhood.
“We commend Pakistan for its whole-of-government approach to implement the National Action Plan and eliminate the ability of militant groups to recruit, to finance, and to incite violence,” Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday.
“And we welcome Pakistan’s commitment not to differentiate between terrorist groups in the implementation of this strategy,” he said at the inaugural session of the US-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue here.
“Groups like the Haqqani Network and Lashkar-e-Taiba (that) seek to undermine Pakistan’s efforts to foster strong, positive relations with its neighbours,” Kerry said.
“In the end, a group like the Haqqani group or Lashkar-e-Taiba or Jaish-e-Mohammad – all of these groups are literally stealing the sovereignty of a nation,” he said.
“And they’re stealing the future of a nation. And it is important for us to stand up to them.”
While Haqqani Network is active in Afghanistan, Lashkar-e-Taiba is held responsible for the November 2008 Mumbai terror attacks and Jaish-e-Mohammad is blamed for the attack on an Indian Air Force base in Pathankot in January.
Pakistan Foreign Affairs Adviser Sartaj Aziz said, “As an all-important part of our policy of peaceful neighbourhood, we have reached out to India.”
“We believe the resolution of all outstanding issues, including the Kashmir dispute, is possible through resumption of full-scale and uninterrupted dialogue with India.”
Pakistan “would also propose a mechanism to address our respective concern on terrorism”, he said.
He described the Indian participation in the Heart of Asia conference in Islamabad last December and announcement to start the comprehensive dialogue as “positive developments that augur well for peace and stability in South Asia”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Islamabad in December was welcomed by most in Pakistan, Aziz noted.
He expressed Pakistan’s gratitude to Kerry and President Barack Obama “for your consistent support to the revival of the Pakistan-India dialogue”.
“It is unfortunate that the agreement on resuming the dialogue process was disrupted by the attack on Pathankot airbase on 2nd January,” he said.
Pakistan has taken some very important steps in the aftermath of this incident, he said. Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had called Modi immediately after this attack and assured of Pakistan’s support in the investigation.
Since then, national security advisors are maintaining frequent contacts, Aziz said. A case has been registered, and the special investigation team is likely to visit in the next few days.
“We, therefore, hope that the foreign secretary-level talks will be scheduled very soon,” Aziz said.
Referring to the contentious sale of F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan, Aziz thanked the US for endorsing its position that the planes would strengthen its a
