The United States does not play any role in choosing the leaders of Pakistan, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters on Monday.

In a daily briefing, Matthew Miller said, “We engage with the leadership shown by – or the leadership decided by the Pakistani people, and we will continue to engage with the Government of Pakistan on all these issues.”

Asked whether the US is concerned about the relationships between Afghanistan and Pakistan, Matthew Miller said, “ Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan, obviously we support a diplomatic resolution to all of the various issues between those two countries. It’s something that we have been engaged on.“

“We’ve detailed the substance of some of those specific engagements over the past few weeks, and we will continue to do so, “ he added.
