Relations between the US and Pakistan have been mired in uncertainty since the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan. At the same time, relations between Washington and Islamabad are becoming tense due to the enmity between the US and China and this has also damaged the deteriorating economy of the troubled country. According to the report of Pakistani newspaper Dawn, US Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asia Elizabeth Horst was also present at the event.
‘IMF conditions are not easy’
Elisabeth Horst focused on the need to help rebuild the Pakistani economy and urged Islamabad to work with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to do so. He said, ‘The reforms that Pakistan and the IMF have agreed upon are not easy. But it is important that Pakistan takes these steps to put the country back on a sound financial footing. Avoid getting trapped in more debt and take the country’s economy forward.
There is no money to run tanks and the poor Pakistani army is threatening India with the jackals of war.
‘Pakistan accepts IMF’s conditions’
Washington has asked Islamabad to implement the ‘tough reforms’ agreed with the IMF. Recently, increased talks have shown Pakistan a new ray of hope towards improving strained relations with the US. Held at the Wilson Center, Washington, the conference focused on how the US-Pakistan relationship can be strengthened amid several challenges. The Pakistani ambassador said that Pakistan has placed its first order for Russian oil and has done so in consultation with the US government.
