Washington: The meeting of US defence secretary Jim Mattis with the leaders of Pakistan during his visit to Islamabad early this week was to find common ground in the fight against terrorism, the Pentagon said on Friday, reports The Firstpost. She said the effort was to broaden the relationship between the two countries.The Secretary had very fruitful conversations about where we can find common ground,” Pentagon chief spokesperson Dana White told reporters at her weekly news conference. “As he said, no one has lost more troops and lives to terrorism than the Pakistanis. They’ve lost thousands of troops, and they’ve lost thousands of innocents as well,” White said. So we’ll look for ways to work with Pakistanis to find that common ground and move forward,” White said.
