Washington’s relationship with India and Pakistan remains unchanged, US State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said during a media address on Wednesday, adding that the diplomats are committed to both nations.
Her remark came while she was questioned about Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir’s recent visit to the United States and his nuclear threats against India.
Speaking at the State Department briefing, Bruce stated, “We had an experience with Pakistan and India. When there was a conflict, that could have developed into something quite horrible.”
“There was immediate concern and movement with Vice President JD Vance, President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in addressing the nature of what was happening,” Bruce said.
She stressed the success of diplomatic efforts in preventing the conflict from escalating, stating, “We described the nature of the phone calls and the work we did to stop the attacks, bringing the parties together to create something enduring.”
“It’s a very proud moment that Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance and the top leaders in this nation were involved in stopping that potential catastrophe,” she added.
Bruce noted that Washington’s relationship with “both nations remains unchanged” and that “the diplomats are committed to both countries.”
Also highlighting the US-Pakistan counter-terrorism dialogue, which was established in Islamabad on Tuesday, she affirmed, “The United States and Pakistan reaffirmed their shared commitment to combat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations during the latest rounds of talks in Islamabad.”
“The US and Pakistan discussed ways to enhance cooperation to counter terrorist threats,” she added.
“For the region and for the world, the US working with both those nations is good news and will promote a future that’s beneficial,” she added.
