WASHINGTON: Pakistan's Ambassador to US Sherry Rehman said on Tuesday that both Pakistan and the United States should have consideration for the other’s interests, DawnNews reported. She moreover said that Pakistan had incurred losses of $78 billion in the struggle against terrorism.

Speaking at a ceremony in Washington, she condemned the recent attacks in Kabul and said that Pakistan was with its Afghan brothers in their difficult times.

However, she emphasised that Pakistan was also suffering from acts of terrorism on a daily basis. Rehman, moreover, called the attack on Salala checkpost an act of violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty.

She said differences between the US and Pakistan arose because of the Salala incident.

Furthermore, Rehman said the parliament’s recommendations on Pakistan’s foreign and defence policies had a historic significance.
