Former president Asif Ali Zardari has welcomed the recent visit by a US Congressional delegation and has expressed the hope that the visit will help in decreasing misgivings which is needed for “resetting the ties between the two countries”.
The bipartisan US Congressional delegation which recently concluded its visit to Pakistan was led by Senator John McCain, Chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee.
In a statement, the former president described as “positive and reassuring” Senator McCain’s comments after visiting operational areas to witness the gains made during Operation Zarb-e-Azb against extremists and militants.
Reportedly, the US delegation appreciated the success achieved by Pakistan in its counterterrorism campaign as “impressively visible”.
According to reports the congressional delegation said that they wished other members of the US Congress also witnessed for themselves the outcome of the successful operation in North Waziristan.
Pakistan has suffered the most in the fight against militants, the former president said, adding, “the world must recognise and appreciate it”.
Praise of Pakistan’s sacrifices in the fight against militants by a bipartisan Congressional delegation indeed is most welcome, the former president said, adding that the Pakistan People’s Party has always tried to impress upon the global community the huge sacrifices made by the country in its fight against terrorism and will continue to do so whether it is in government or not.
But nobody asked for your opinion Mr.
Not quite. He did not say nothing who created the misunderstanding and how. If he knows that all that started when Zardari sent his former US ambassador, Haqqani the author of Zardari's memo to create the mess which includes supply of F-16s.
