  1. Our nations have made a lot of sacrifices in fighting terrorism, and continue to do so in our shared quest for peace. It is our wish and desire to see peace prevail throughout the region, especially Pakistan. It was widely reported that today that PM Nawaz Sharif said: "Full fledged offensive has now started and all foreign fighters and local terrorists will be wiped out without exception and no sanctuary will be spared by the Pakistan Armed Forces." We echo what Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said: "The Pakistan military and the government understand the threat, and they continue to go after that threat." We commend the brave security forces of Pakistan in their ongoing efforts to counter the threat of terrorism. We also send our heartfelt condolences to the families of all those brave soldiers who have lost their lives in the ongoing Operation Zarb-e-Azb.
