Summary
US special envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke says relations between Washington and Pakistan are indispensable, and reaffirmed the Obama administrations commitment to help Pakistan counter extremism along its northwestern border with Afghanistan. Speaking at the launch of a broadcast service along the Pak-Afghan border regions, Holbrooke said broadcasting in the local language would help advance public debate and counter extremist propaganda in the NWFP. We will support Pakistanis in every way we can. We are not going to set up American broadcasting station rather we look forward to contributing to public debate about terrorism. Talibans propaganda will be effectively countered, he said.
