Washington, Oct. 21: The U.S. State Department has said that America wants a strong and democratic Pakistan working as a partner in counter-terrorism.

“We want to see a strong, democratic Pakistan that works well with us and with the international community in addressing the terror challenges it has; that we are re-engaging after some period now in trying to get our working groups and other things back up and running to support our joint efforts to meet the terror challenge, and that is – that’s the trajectory that we’re on,” The Express Tribune quoted spokesperson Victoria Nuland, as saying.
