Pakistan: US 'Applauded' Steps Against Terror Financing

Ayaz Gul

   ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN - Pakistan hosted high-level talks with the United
   States on Monday to review steps Islamabad has taken to choke funding
   sources to terrorist groups.

   The two sides, officials say, also discussed ways to increase bilateral
   trade.

   U.S. Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Alice Wells led her
   delegation in meetings with senior Pakistani officials at the
   ministries of interior and commerce to formally begin her four-day
   visit amid warming relations.

   Meanwhile, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry has announced that Prime
   Minister Imran Khan will hold a bilateral meeting with U.S. President
   Donald Trump on the sidelines of the three-day World Economic Forum in
   Davos starting Tuesday. This would be the third interaction between the
   two leaders since their White House meeting in July 2019.
