The United States has declined to say whether Pakistan gave any assurance of taking action against terrorists operating from its soil during a high-level delegation visit led by former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

“I am not going to discuss the details of those conversations,” said State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce, when asked directly if Washington received any commitment from Islamabad on counterterrorism measures during last week’s visit of an all-parliamentary delegation led by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
