I would like to help my people in any way I can. It's difficult times in Pakistan and we all have to help.

On the international political landscape, there is better understanding of Pakistan's political economic and strategic issues. We aspire to promote peace and harmony with the region.

It is in Pakistan's own interest that the Afghan army is able to fight effectively against the Taliban, which is more likely if they continue to have American advisers at their side.

Pakistan's being an ally and helping the United States, we ought to show Pakistan that we are appreciative for the help that's been extended.

I am looking forward and I am hoping that I will be the catalyst that makes India and Pakistan live for peace forever.

People in Afghanistan want peace, including the Taliban. They're also people like we all are. They have families, they have relatives, they have children, they are suffering a tough time.

What I've said from the beginning is that I am going to try to help all the vulnerable populations in Afghanistan - and to a certain extent, that's the majority of Afghanistan.

I suggested that we had experience in helping other countries build their military forces, and we would be willing and happy to do the same for Afghanistan, together with the United States.

We need the cooperation of the Pakistanis. If we don't have any, we lose insight into the actions of those who would do our country harm.
