News Desk

May 14

Pakistan and the United States have highlighted the importance of bilateral cooperation regarding regional and global security challenges, including the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Daesh.

According to a statement issued by the Foreign Office on Monday, discussions centred on the counterterrorism landscape in the region, with a focus on areas of mutual interest.

Both sides agreed on the importance of expanding counterterrorism collaboration and capacity building, including exchanges of technical expertise and best practices, investigative and prosecutorial assistance, provision of border security infrastructure and training.

Most importantly, the United States has also explicitly named TTP and ISIS-Khorasan (Daesh) as “transnational terror threats”.

Journalist Anas Mallick wrote on X that it is a success of Pakistan’s diplomacy to convince US on naming TTP as much of a threat as ISIS.
