BALBOA + 37 BR July 25, 2019 Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan returned home from Washington on Thursday after a visit seen by supporters as a major diplomatic success, saying he felt like he had when he came back after winning the cricket World Cup. U.S. President Donald Trump’s warm reception of Khan and a delegation including the army chief and the head of the powerful ISI intelligence service was a welcome relief to a government under increasing economic pressure at home. Offering reassurance that Pakistan would help seal a peace agreement with the Taliban to allow U.S. troops to withdraw from Afghanistan, Khan went some way toward rebuilding Pakistan’s image in Washington after years of U.S. suspicions. While there was no announcement that the United States would restore hundreds of millions of dollars in security assistance cut off last year, the visit sent a signal that relations had improved significantly. “For now, I think the Pakistani side would be happy with what they got,” said Umer Karim, a visiting fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London. He said the presence of the army chief, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, and ISI head General Faiz Hameed alongside Khan in Washington were a strong signal that U.S. mistrust of Pakistan’s security establishment had eased. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They seem to be prone to being taken over by radicals in the ME. And who really knows, it may still happen in Iraq again..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
