June 25: President Barack Obama has said that the United States wants stable and strong governments in Pakistan and Afghanistan that could defeat terrorists.
In a joint news conference with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, President Obama said his decision to send a new commander to Afghanistan was “a change in personnel but not a change in policy”.
The US mission in the Pak-Afghan region was, first and foremost, to dismantle and destroy Al Qaeda and its affiliates so that they could not attack the United States again, he said.
“In order to achieve that, we have to make sure that we have a stable Afghan government, and we also have to make sure that we’ve got a Pakistani government that is working effectively with us to dismantle these networks,” he said.
