US Stresses Support for Democratic Principles In Pakistan

Responding to a question about the Pakistani government’s plan to hold elections in early October, the US official said: “I will make clear that we support the peaceful upholding of fundamental democratic principles such as free media, free speech, freedom of assembly.”

The United States, he said, champions the rule of law, not just in Pakistan but around the world. “These principles are the foundations for democratic elections. I have spoken to this both with respect to Pakistan specifically and of course as it relates to other countries on numerous occasions,” Mr Miller added.
