Washington, Sep 28 In the midst of war of words between Pakistani and Afghan Presidents Pervez Musharraf and Hamid Karzai, US President George Bush has said his country needed to work with them to "strategise together" to defeat terrorism.
"We've got a lot of challenges facing us. All of us must protect our countries. But at the same time, we all must work to make the world a more hopeful place," he told Musharraf and Karzai at a dinner meeting yesterday.
"And so today's dinner is a chance for us to strategise together, to talk about the need to cooperate, to make sure that people have got a hopeful future," Bush said at the White House.
"The main thing I was looking forward to talking about is how the United States government and the people of the US can help these two countries provide a foundation for hope," he said.
He said the three countries would continue to hunt for al-Qaeda supremo Osama Bin Laden.
"We will continue to make sure that extremists such as Osama bin Laden, that wants to ... Hurt my friend here (Musharraf), as well as upset the democracy in Afghanistan, is brought to justice," Bush remarked.
Calling both Karzai and Musharraf "personal friends" of his, the American President said the two were "strong leaders who have an understanding of the world in which we live." Karzai and Musharraf have been accusing each other of not doing enough in the fight against terrorism. |
