Asserting that the implementation of the current Afghanistan and Pakistan policy is progressing on track, President Barack Obama has told the United States Congress that there is no need to change the current policy of his administration on the two nations. Mr. Obama said, the US will continue to implement the policy as described in December without any further adjustments. He said this in a letter to the House and Senate leadership along with his six-monthly report to the Congress on Afghanistan and Pakistan as mandated by it. The report outlines a number of challenges, but also highlights progress, where appropriate, and outlines US efforts to assist the respective governments to achieve the stated policy goals. US President said as the Congress continues its deliberations on the way ahead in Afghanistan and Pakistan, he wants to continue to underscore the Nation’s interests in the successful implementation of this policy.
