WASHINGTON — Pakistan said Wednesday that it was satisfied with U.S. pledges, made during a day-long strategic conference in Washington, to increase and streamline the delivery of military and economic aid and to “move from a relationship to a partnership.”
“Today, I am a happy man and a satisfied man,” Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said at a news conference with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. “I’m satisfied because you finally agreed to many of the things that we’ve been sharing in our discussions over the last, you know, two years.”
The Obama administration’s primary goals for the gathering were to create a new bond between the two nations and to win increased cooperation in the fight against al-Qaeda.
