In response to another inquiry concerning Pakistan’s security state, Miller stated, “Pakistan has suffered greatly at the hands of terrorists.”

Our deepest sympathies are sent to the families impacted by this terrorist attack. We regret the deaths and injuries caused and are determined to collaborate with Pakistan in combating the common threat that terrorist organizations provide to the entire area.

The spokesman urged Pakistani authorities to abide by the non-return guideline while discussing the treatment of Afghan refugees in that country. Regarding the security of people resettling in the US and immigration routes, we have maintained regular and tight contact with the Government of Pakistan.

As always, we’ll collaborate with the Pakistani government to resolve any problems or issues.

Ensuring the secure and effective relocation of those individuals is beneficial for both of our nations.
