US Secretary of State Mike Pompey and President Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph Dunnford, a day before the stopover in Islamabad, Pentagon has said that the US will continue to press Pakistan to target all terrorist groups "indiscriminate".
"From January, we are continuously engaged with Pakistani military officers at the highest level on the basis of both shared commitment to defeat all terrorist groups on regional persistence and security as well as shared vision of the peaceful future of Afghanistan." Pentagon spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Con Falconer told The News International on Monday.
"We keep on pressing Pakistan to focus on all psychological militant gatherings, including Haqqani system, and we request that Pakistan capture, oust or convey the Taliban initiative to the discussion table."
The Pentagon official also clarified: "Suspension of security assistance to Pakistan was announced in January 2018. The CSF has been included in the suspension and it is in place."
President Donald Trump suspended all security related assistance to Pakistan in the beginning of 2018, alleging that Islamabad was not working against the promised militant groups, New International said.
After the presidential orders, the White House deposited nearly $ 1 billion in aid to Pakistan, but also offered a $ 300 million in its new annual budget, which was again tied to work against terrorist groups.
To help in starting a dialogue for political negotiations in Afghanistan, it is a long demand from the Trump Administration to come along with terrorist groups, especially the Taliban.
"Due to lack of Pakistani decisive action in support of South Asia strategy, the Department of Defense reconstituted the remaining 300 million dollars for the remaining immediate priorities for the remaining immediate priorities before the expiration of September 30."
Mr. Pompe and Mr. Dunford will be in Islamabad on Wednesday in India.
In an effort to get the most needed cooperation in Afghanistan during the violence in Afghanistan, they will meet the new Imran Khan-led government to discuss issues of mutual concern, and Trump's annual South Asia strategy is moving forward against the Taliban. In the mid-term voting, the national said.
