It is safe to assume that certain terrorist elements remain focused on disrupting nation’s security. They do not want to see our nations succeed in our peace objectives, and these acts of terror clearly aim to send the region into chaos and frenzy, especially Pakistan. At the same time, we greatly admire Pakistan’s will and desire in combating terrorism. The great nation of Pakistan has lost thousands of security personnel, including civilians, to acts of terror. Despite all these attempts, the terrorists have been unable to stop our nations from moving forward. We share a common stance against terrorism, and refuse to bow down to terrorism. We stand by the government of Pakistan in their efforts to negate the threat of terrorism, and certainly hope to work together to restore peace in the region.
