United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Wednesday (25 October), in a joint stand against terrorism, slammed Pakistan for providing safe havens to terror outfits.
Swaraj categorically said, "US President Donald Trump's policy on terrorism can only succeed when Pakistan takes an action against the terror groups."
Tillerson, who is on a two-day visit to India, yesterday made his inaugural trip to Pakistan, where he reiterated Trump's message that Islamabad must increase its efforts to eradicate the militants and terrorists operating within the country.
"We want to work with Pakistan in a positive way as we think this is in their interest in the longer term," Tillerson said.
Yesterday (24 October), he paid an unannounced visit to Baghdad, just hours after returning from a similar surprise visit to Afghanistan.
During his visit, he met Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who accused the former of interfering in Iraqi affairs. ANI
