The United States and Pakistan have agreed to confront terrorist organisations including ISIS-Khorasan, al-Qaeda, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and the Balochistan Liberation Army, while working to strengthen border security. The agreement came at the fourth U.S.-Pakistan Counterterrorism Dialogue, held on August 4. The Hindu reports that delegations led by U.S. Coordinator for Counterterrorism Gregory LoGerfo and Pakistan Foreign Ministry official Nabeel Munir reviewed the regional threat environment. A joint statement said both sides would seek to disrupt terrorist facilitation networks and deepen counterterrorism cooperation. The statement framed the partnership as part of a broader goal of regional peace, prosperity and stability.
