Pakistani newspaper “The Nation” has claimed that despite the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan, the United States continues to exert influence over Afghan-related affairs through financial mechanisms, diplomatic channels, and international institutions.<\/p>\n
According to the newspaper, Washington utilizes leverage within global economic and political structures to influence the Taliban administration’s behavior and to curb the activities of armed groups in the region.<\/p>\n
The Nation further highlighted the fourth round of anti-terrorism talks between the US and Pakistan, viewing it as a sign of ongoing security cooperation between the two countries. The report identifies groups such as Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Baloch Liberation Army, and ISIS-Khorasan as shared threats.<\/p>\n
The newspaper believes that Islamabad has consistently emphasized that the activities of these groups are not merely a domestic challenge for Pakistan but have regional consequences, necessitating broad international coordination to address them.<\/p>\n
The article also stresses that Pakistan’s security cooperation with the US does not signify a decline in its strategic relations with China, and that Islamabad can simultaneously maintain its ties with Beijing while collaborating with Washington on counter-terrorism.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, The Nation asserts that shared security interests between Pakistan and the US could pave the way for transforming political consultations into concrete actions against armed networks in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
