U.S. resumes its military training and educational program for Pakistan more than a year after it was suspended, the spokesperson to U.S. State Department said yesterday, [December 24, 2019].
The program provides an opportunity to increase bilateral cooperation between Washington and Islamabad, the spokesperson added.
It was quoted by the State Department administers as saying that it was a small facet of U.S. security aid programs for Pakistan worth some $2 billion that remain suspended on orders that Trump abruptly issued in January 2018 to compel the nuclear-armed South Asian nation to crackdown on Islamist militants.
The restart of the program, however, is subject to approval by Congress.
