WASHINGTON: The United States on Tuesday called upon Pakistan to take steps to prevent terrorists from carrying out acts of terror not just in Pakistan but other countries of the region.

The US also reiterated a call for Pakistan and India to have greater collaboration in fighting terrorism, saying it was good both for the region as well as for Washington.

“We would encourage greater dialogue and counter terrorism cooperation between both Pakistan and India. We’ve said that many times. It’s for the good of both countries it’s for the good of the region. Frankly it’s for the benefit of the United States, State Department Spokesman Mark Toner said at a regular briefing.
