WASHINGTON: Welcoming the meeting between the prime ministers of
Pakistan and India in Maldives on the sidelines of the SAARC summit, the
US on Thursday said cooperation between the two countries is going to
benefit the region.
"We have said many, many, many times from
this podium that we support constructive dialogue between the two
countries," State Department spokesperson Mark Toner said at his daily
news conference.
"You know, it is to the benefit of the region
that these two countries cooperate more closely, both on the economic
front but as well as on other issues. We see this as a win-win for the
region," Toner said in response to a question about the meeting between
the two Prime Ministers. Online
