ISLAMABAD, May 2 (Xinhua) -- A top Pakistani foreign affairs adviser on Monday regretted that the United States is not duly appreciating the country's struggle against the militants.
Syed Tariq Fatemi, Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs, conveyed the complaint to a two-member Professional Staff delegation of the House Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. Congress in Islamabad.
The remarks came just days after the U.S. halted financial aid to Pakistan for procurement of its eight F-16 fighter jets.
"During the meeting, a range of important issues were discussed and the Special Assistance particularly highlighted the fact that there was lack of sufficient appreciation for Pakistan's whole-hearted efforts it was undertaking jointly with the U.S. administration, in countering the threat posed by terrorism," the foreign ministry said.
