The US will continue to support the economic reform efforts of Pakistan, a US official has said, while welcoming the decision of the International Monetary Fund to provide the latter $6.7-billion economic aid.
“The new Pakistani Government has cited economic revitalisation and reform as a top priority. We continue to support the Government of Pakistan to work to stabilise the economy as Pakistan confronts its own economic challenges,” State Department Deputy spokesperson Marie Harf said.
She said that the US will continue to back Pakistan’s reform efforts.
“We’ll continue to advance our bilateral trade and investment partnership and look to Pakistan’s civilian leadership to determine the direction of these efforts, including their recent agreement with the IMF,” Harf said.
