U.S. strengthens partnership with Pakistan for war in Afghanistan

The two countries have reaffirmed their commitment to a wide-ranging, long-term and substantive strategic partnership, based on mutual trust and respect. But is this "long-term" partnership just a temporary or war-time alliance?

Senior Pakistani officials and army officers came here for the U.S.-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue, the first ever at the ministerial level of both governments. The dialogue aims at broadening and deepening comprehensive cooperation between the United States and Pakistan.

According to a joint statement issued on Thursday, in the dialogue, the two sides discussed bilateral cooperation in the fields of economy and trade, energy, defense, security, strategic stability and non-proliferation, law enforcement and counter-terrorism, science and technology, education, agriculture, water, health, communications and public diplomacy.
