Us hopes for continued good relations with ally Pakistan
The United States on Monday voiced the hope for continued good relations with Pakistan as it closely watched the latest political developments in the South Asian country.
The United States wants to build a strong relationship with Pakistan even though Washington remains opposed to Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project, Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs Mike Hammer has said, ``We are interested in a strong bilateral relationship because we face common challenges, whether it's the security challenge and Pakistan has sacrificed considerably in terms of its own efforts to confront extremism,'' he told a news briefing at the Foreign Press Centre in New York.
