Pakistan, US have common goals in Afghanistan: State Department | We are Iron brother 70 years

Afghanistan’s neighbours need to play a constructive role in helping bring durable political settlement, says US
WASHINGTON: Pakistan and the United States have shared interests of peace and stability in Afghanistan, US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said in a press briefing Wednesday.
The statement from the State Department that Pakistan is an important partner on various fronts came after a couple of hard-hitting statements from the Pakistani leadership slamming the US.
“Pakistan has been a helpful and constructive partner when it comes to Afghanistan and our collective efforts to bring about some semblance of peace and security there," the spokesperson added.
Price said the interests of the United States and Pakistan go well beyond that and include broader interests and the people-to-people ties that unite our two countries.
He said all of Afghanistan’s neighbours need to play a constructive role in helping bring durable political settlement.
He said the United States is going to work very closely to ensure that Afghanistan’s neighbours play a constructive role in Afghanistan.

‘Pakistan can partner with US for peace, not for conflict’
Last month, Prime Minister Imran Khan had delivered a long address to the National Assembly during which he stressed that Pakistan could partner with the United States in peace, but never again for conflict.
