We\u2019ve consistently said there is no truth to these allegations,\u201d Price added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWe value our long-standing cooperation with Pakistan. We\u2019ve always viewed a prosperous and democratic Pakistan as critical to our interests. That very much remains unchanged. Whether it has come to an end or not, we don\u2019t let propaganda, misinformation, disinformation get in the way of any bilateral relationship,\u201d the spokesperson told reporters at his daily press briefing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThat, of course, includes our valued bilateral relationship with Pakistan. When it comes to various political players inside of Pakistan, we don\u2019t have a position on one political candidate or party versus another. We support, as we do around the world, the peaceful upholding of democratic, constitutional, and legal principles,\u201d Price said.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the visit of a Pakistani defense delegation now visiting Washington and prospects of resumption of security assistance to Pakistan, the spokesperson said, \u201cNothing I\u2019m in a position to share publicly beyond the fact that Pakistan is a valued partner of the United States. It\u2019s valued across many realms.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Of course we have a security relationship that is important to us knowing that many of the threats Pakistan faces could well in turn be threats to us. And so we value the work we do together, but I\u2019m just not in a position to offer anything beyond that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sources: APP<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US values ties with Pakistan.
