US to look at its relationship with Pakistan to formulate what role Washington will want to play in the future of Afghanistan – US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
In the first public hearing in Congress about Afghanistan, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Pakistan has a"multiplicity of interests some that are in conflict with ours."
The United States will be looking at its relationship with Pakistan in the coming weeks, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said to formulate what role Washington would want to play in the future of Afghanistan. "It is one that is involved hedging its bets constantly about the future of Afghanistan, it's one that's involved harboring members of the Taliban ... It is one that's also involved in different points of cooperation with us on counterterrorism," Blinken said.
"This is one of the things we're going to be looking at in the days, and weeks ahead - the role that Pakistan has played over the last 20 years but also the role we would want to see it play in the coming years and what it will take for it to do that," he said.
