US values its longstanding cooperation with Pakistan: State Department

Washington (Web Desk): The United States (US) has said that it values its longstanding cooperation with Pakistan and has always viewed a prosperous and democratic Pakistan as critical to the US interests not just in the region, but also the world more broadly.

Answering a question during his press briefing at the US State Department in Washington, the Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said that the US supports peaceful upholding of democratic, constitutional, and legal principles.

When asked that former prime minister Imran Khan has backed out of his allegations when the former premier said he no longer blame the US administration for removing him from power, Vedant Patel said that as we’ve previously said, there has – there is not and there has never been a truth to these allegations.

"And we don't have a position on one political candidate of a party versus another," Patel added.

The US State Department deputy spokesperson said we will not let propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation get in the way of any bilateral relationship, including our valued bilateral partnership with Pakistan.
