Biden Ready
The US President Joe Biden comprehends the threats faced by Pakistan and is dedicated to collaborating with the country to address and eliminate these threats.
The White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communication John Kirby stated this on Friday.
Mr. Kirby also underscored US efforts to expand multilateral development banks such as the IMF and the World Bank. He mentioned that President Biden intends to discuss this proposal with G20 leaders in New Delhi over the upcoming weekend.
“We recognize that these institutions represent some of the most effective tools for mobilizing investment in developing countries,” stated Mr. Kirby.
“That’s why the US is leading a significant effort to adapt these institutions to meet the challenges of the future.”
He said, “We are aware that the Pakistani people continue to face the threat of terrorism, particularly along the border with Afghanistan.”
US ready to work with Pakistan to curb border threats from afghanistan: Biden Ready
Earlier, John Kirby, the spokesman for the United States National Security Council, strongly refuted the suggestion that militants had acquired military equipment abandoned by American forces in Afghanistan, which subsequently led to security concerns in countries like Pakistan in the region.
However, he stated that Washington would collaborate with Pakistan to address the threat emanating from the Afghanistan border.
During a briefing, NSC Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby discussed the goals and priorities of the Biden-Harris Administration at the upcoming G20 Leaders’ Summit, as well as the U.S.-ASEAN and East Asia Summits.
At one juncture, a Pakistani journalist asserted, “Groups like ISIS, al-Qaida, and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, among others, also came into possession of the military equipment, valued at approximately $7 billion, left by American forces.”
The US spokesman said the US govt is ready to work with Pakistan to curb threats from the Afghan border.
Upon hearing the journalist’s claim that militants had gained control of the military equipment left by American forces in Afghanistan, Kirby interrupted him.” Allow me to interrupt you right there.”
He vehemently denied the notion that the US had abandoned military hardware in Afghanistan.
