The United States will not completely withdraw from the Pak-Afghan region post-2014 even after most of its combat troops return home, a senior US official said.
Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Nisha Desai Biswal also stressed that the need for improvement in Pakistan-India relations is a crucial factor in bringing stability to Afghanistan, Dawn News reports.
Biswal, however, made it clear that the U.S. would only play a supportive role and avoid direct influence in resolving the disputes.
