It was recently reported from Washington that US Secretary of State, John Kerry, claimed that Pakistan has the potential to become an economic tiger. He backed his claim by bringing minorities, women and reforms into the picture.
Pakistan was meeting up with US for the first time after October 2010. The two were to discuss strategic reforms when they met the last time, but the project broke down as Pakistan was enraged over US after they planned a raid in Abbottabad in order to kill the Al Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden.
Kerry spoke about how US wants to strengthen ties between Pakistan and the US. He claimed that he emphasizes with the people of Pakistan.
He also praised the current economic reforms of the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif. He said,
“The United States has no doubt that Prime Minister Sharif’s policies will put Pakistan on a path towards a more prosperous future, and we fully support his goal of making Pakistan’s marketplace a tiger economy for the 21st century.”
A statement was also released regarding the ongoing problem with Taliban. Kerry and Aziz asked the Taliban to make a move and hold talks with Afghanistan. Both of them shared the view that the perfect way to end violence is through peace talks.
