Response to U.S. Defence Secretary’s statement
(2009-01-28)
In response to a question regarding U.S. Secretary of Defence Robert Gate’s statement on US drone attacks inside Pakistan’s territory, the Spokesman said there is no understanding between Pakistan and the United States on predator attacks. We want closer cooperation at the operational level to deal with militancy. This cooperation is part of a broader cooperation to bring peace and stability and eliminating extremism. As far as Al-Qaida is concerned, Pakistan has done more than any other country. We look forward to working closely with the new US Administration on all issues, including in the fight against terrorism.
