US-Pakistan cooperation will continue: Rice
Aug 18th, 2008 | By Sindh Today | Category: PakistanWashington, Aug 18 (Xinhua) The US will continue to work with the Pakistani government, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said after President Pervez Musharraf announced his resignation Monday.
Rice thanked Musharraf, a key US counter-terrorism ally, for his help in the fight against Al Qaeda.
Musharraf, who took power in 1999 in a military coup, announced his decision to step down in a televised speech to the nation earlier in the day.
Pakistan’s ruling coalition parties said earlier this month that they would launch impeachment proceedings against Musharraf, a declaration that gave rise to mounting speculation about Musharraf’s likely resignation.
