The importance of shared cooperation between the U.S., ISAF, Pakistan and Afghanistan remains imperative due to the common threat posed by the terrorists in the region. The recent attacks by the terrorists on both sides of the border remind us that our common enemies continue to work against our shared peace objectives in the region. These meetings between our officials allow us to address our shared concerns in the region, and further improve cooperation and coordination between our nations. It is our wish to see peace prevail throughout the region, and we certainly hope to see the regional partners working together in a healthy partnership for the sake of achieving our common objectives.
