A United States official has said that Pakistan continues to be an important partner and there are no tensions between the two countries.

Asked about ‘harsh’ statements from Pakistani officials being an indication of things being tense during a press briefing, State Department’s Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said that there was absolutely no such problem.

“Absolutely not. You’ve heard me say this before: Pakistan continues to be one of our most important partners in the region,” Patel said.

“There continues to be a lot of cooperation that we have with the Government of Pakistan, especially in the security space, especially in the trade sector,” he added.
