The United States Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan‚ James F Dobbins, separately met with Advisor to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs and National Security Sartaj Aziz and Minister of Interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan in Islamabad on Tuesday.

Dobbins discussed a number of elements of the US-Pakistan strategic dialogue‚ which was re-energised during the visit of Secretary of State John Kerry to Pakistan in August and reaffirmed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and President Obama in October this year.

Three working groups under this strategic dialogue have met to date – the energy working group‚ the defense consultative group‚ and the security‚ strategic stability‚ and nonproliferation working group. The economics and finance and the law enforcement and counterterrorism working groups are expected to meet in the coming months culminating in a strategic dialogue ministerial meeting early next year.
