U.S. - Pakistan Relations
An Enduring Partnership
On March 24, 2010, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Pakistan Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi led the first Ministerial-level U.S.-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue meetings in Washington, DC., heralding a new phase in U.S.-Pakistan relations. In her opening remarks, Secretary Clinton called on the people of Pakistan and the United States to become part of an enduring partnership between our two nations.
"The dialogue we seek is not only with the government of Pakistan, but with you, the people of Pakistan. . . It is a dialogue that we hope will expand and endure, and include more and more Pakistanis and Americans, because we believe there is no limit to what the Pakistani and American people can accomplish together, particularly in this interconnected age, when it is so easy to communicate and collaborate, government-to-government, business-to-business, student-to-student, and citizen-to-citizen. So I urge every Pakistani and every American following our work here today to take on this mission as your own. Our countries are poised to deepen our partnership for our mutual progress, but we can only succeed with your support."
