Pakistan's The Nation newspaper wrote that despite the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, Washington still holds significant influence over developments in the country through financial, diplomatic, and institutional tools. The paper called the fourth round of US-Pakistan counter-terrorism dialogue a positive development.
The author emphasized that recognizing groups like the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, Balochistan Liberation Army, and ISIS-K as shared threats is of critical importance. Pakistan has long argued these groups pose a regional threat requiring coordinated international action.
The article concludes that Pakistan and the US share common interests in countering security threats, and that cooperation with Washington does not mean distancing from China, as Islamabad can maintain strategic ties with Beijing simultaneously.
