Channel: United States Institute of Peace
Date: 2017-10-23

The new U.S. effort to stabilize Afghanistan includes a more confrontational approach toward neighboring Pakistan. What are the advantages and costs of that approach, and how should the United States now calibrate its engagement with Pakistan? On October 18, four former senior American officials, who collectively have worked through decades of turbulent U.S.-Pakistan relations, will debate these questions and the impact of the new U.S. approach on Pakistan and the region. 

In this excerpt, Zalmay Khalilzad talks about what could help move the U.S.-Pakistan relationship to a more constructive place. Khalilzad is a former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan. He is now at Gryphon Partners.
