STATEMENT BY PHILIP J. CROWLEY

ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STATE FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Postponement of the U.S. - Afghan - Pakistan Trilateral Meeting

In light of the political changes in Pakistan and after discussions with Afghan and Pakistani officials in Washington, it was agreed to postpone the Trilateral Meeting scheduled for February 23-24. We remain committed to robust engagement between Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the United States, as we share many issues of mutual concern and benefit from being at the same table. We look forward to convening a very productive Trilateral Meeting at the earliest opportunity.
