US Acting Assistant Secretary of State Alice Wells acknowledged Pakistan’s efforts in eradicating terrorism and conveyed the US desire to work with Pakistan.

Pakistan’s relations with the US should move forward in an atmosphere of “mutual trust and respect”, the country’s top diplomat said today, days after Washington suspended military aid to Islamabad for failing to rein-in terror groups operating from its soil.

Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua made the remarks during her meeting with US Acting Assistant Secretary of State Alice Wells, who was in Pakistan along with senior officials from the US National Security Council for a scheduled dialogue on bilateral and regional cooperation.
