Khawaja Asif disagreed with US Secretary on the view that Pakistan should do more and there are safe havens of terrorists in Pakistan.
He said that 40% of Afghanistan is under Taliban rule why would they need territory in Pakistan when they have huge territories inside Afghanistan?
This statement came after US Secretary during his visit repeated the call of President Trump for doing more against militants inside Pakistan.
Khawaja Asif said there is a deficit in trust between the two nations, though there is a willingness on both sides to bridge this deficit which indicates a hopeful relationship between these two countries.
USA administration believes that Pakistan is deliberately supporting the Haqqani network, they alleged that Pakistani ISI is backing them, an allegation which Pakistan rejected on numerous occasions.
