Violent extremists within Pak a threat to US, region and entire world: Obama | US President Barack Obama has said that militants based
on Pakistani soil pose a serious security threat not only to Pakistan and the region, but also to the United States and the whole world. Addressing a meeting
of the 26-member Friends of Democratic Pakistan (FoDP), Obama highlighted that
America and Pakistan were facing a 'common threat'. "We also face a common threat.
The violent extremists within Pakistan pose a threat to the region, to the United
States, and to the world. Above all, they threaten the security of the Pakistani
people," Obama said. Obama said a sustained and prolong effort is required to
thwart the nefarious aims of the militants in the region, and asked the international
community to help Pakistan so that it can be rescued from the prevalent turbulent
situation. "We believe that hope can triumph over fear, and that adversity can
be replaced by opportunity. Success will require a sustained and expanded commitment
from the international community," The News quoted Obama, as saying. "We know
that there are difficult challenges ahead. But that is why we must remain focused,
we must be committed, and we must stay together. As Pakistan makes progress, the
United States will be there as a partner," Obama said. The FoDP group includes
the United States, Britain, France, China, the United Nations, the European Union
and the World Bank. Its prime objective is to support economic and social development
in the troubled nation (Pakistan). |
