Interview with Quatrina Hosain Currim of Pakistan Television |
 | | I had an opportunity to talk about the economic reforms that are going on here, about the possibilities for foreign direct investment in Pakistan, about the educational reforms that are going on here, and of course about the important work that we have still to do in fighting terrorism. |
 | | CURRIM: And, of course, Pakistan and the United States, as you mentioned, have had this wonderful relationship and especially going with the war on terrorism, but the average Pakistani has this fear that when the United States loses interest, it walks away. |
 | | SECRETARY RICE: I would say to the people of Pakistan that the United States will be a friend for life, that we understand that at one time in our history we did not maintain and continue a deep relationship with Pakistan after having shared strategic interests during the Cold War. |
