Washington Affirms Support for Pakistan
The U.S. State Department has affirmed that it supports the democratic government of Pakistan.
"The United States said on Wednesday it is working closely with the democratically elected Pakistani government led by President Asif Ali Zardari in wide-ranging areas of common interest and that American officials maintain contacts with the opposition parties in Pakistan just as they do in other countries."
The government of Pakistan has a lot of challenges in front of it, and it is good to hear that the U.S. government is behind them. International support for Pakistan, not just from the United States, but from the entire community of nations is vital in supporting the efforts for peace and stability in this region of the world.
