Our frequent initiatives to normalise relations with Pakistan are not a sign of our weakness; rather, they are an indication of our commitment to peace.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
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.
Pakistan has done some really terrible things, and yet they also have facilitated our military capabilities in ways that are critical to our country.
Peace can only thrive when the climate is right. We remain open to bilateral dialogue with Pakistan on all outstanding issues in an environment free from terrorism and violence.
Pakistan is a peace-loving, democratic country.
Pakistan is not a unified country.

Pakistan is an old ally of the United States.
