"The conversation with the Pakistani government is for them to recognise that they will be one of the greatest beneficiaries of a successful peace process in Afghanistan, Tillerson told lawmakers during a Congressional hearing on Monday.
Tillerson, who visited Afghanistan, Pakistan and India last week, was responding to questions on Pakistan's co- operation in the fight against terrorism in the aftermath of Trump's South Asia Policy.
"So, we are going to enter into an effort to have greater sharing of certain intelligence information, he said, adding that Pakistanis have indicated that they will act if the US provide them information.
"We're going to have to test that, give them an opportunity to do so," Tillerson said.
Tillerson said that it is up to Pakistan to think about its long-term stability and it future by changing that relationship with these organisations.
In August, President Trump had unveiled his Afghanistan and South Asia policy in which he had hit out at Pakistan for providing safe havens to "agents of chaos" that kill Americans in Afghanistan and warned Islamabad that it has "much to lose" by harbouring terrorists.
