report in The Express Tribune, October 20, 2022
WASHINGTON:Acknowledging that Pakistan suffered the most because of terrorism, a US State Department spokesman said on Tuesday Washington expected sustained action from Islamabad against all terrorist groups.

State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel told his daily news briefing that Pakistan and the US both had a shared interest in fighting threats to the security in the region.

“Few countries have suffered from terrorism like Pakistan, and [we] have a shared interest in combating threats to regional instability and regional security like the TTP [Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan],” he said.

“We seek a strong partnership with Pakistan on counter-terrorism and expect sustained action against all militant and terrorist groups,” he said. “And we look forward to the cooperative efforts to eliminate all regional and global terrorist threats.”
