US National Security Adviser John Bolton has said that he held ‘constructive’ talks with Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi during his visit to Washington earlier this week.
“Qureshi and I discussed the security assistance that was suspended earlier this year,” he told media. “Qureshi and I also discussed effective strategies against terrorist groups and Dr Shakil Afridi’s release,” he added.
FM Qureshi met Bolton and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Washington on October 2 and discussed regional issues as well as matters of mutual interest.
“We hope to work with the new Pakistani government so that we might be able to turn a page and move forward in the fight against terrorism,” Bolton said.
During his visit, Qureshi met with the top US leadership as well as delegations of various countries on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly’s 73rd session at the United Nations headquarters.
