Hilary Clinton says Pakistan has hard choices to make

LONDON: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reiterated that Pakistan has hard choices to make and the international community is ready to help her overcome challenges posed by the terrorists and militants.

She was speaking at a joint news conference with her British counterpart William Hague at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office following their talks on the eve of President Barack Obama’s State visit to the UK starting Tuesday.

Referring to the latest attack by the terrorists on the naval base in Karachi, the US Secretary of State said many terrorists on Pakistani soil had been killed and could not be done without the co-operation of Pakistani government. But, she added, there is more to be done. Clinton said both the United States and the United Kingdom seek to support Pakistani people for greater stability, economic prosperity and justice.
