U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has affirmed Washington’s intent to expand its strategic relationship with Pakistan, emphasizing that this renewed engagement does not undermine America’s deep and historic ties with India. Speaking at a press briefing, Rubio said the United States must maintain balanced relations with multiple nations, describing India’s diplomacy as “mature and pragmatic.”

He clarified that the U.S. views Pakistan as an important partner for regional stability, adding that cooperation will go beyond traditional counterterrorism frameworks. Rubio noted that recent progress reflects shared interests and trust built through sustained dialogue, not at the expense of any other relationship.

The latest phase of U.S.–Pakistan ties follows a significant diplomatic thaw. Pakistan acknowledged President Donald Trump’s mediation during past Indo-Pak tensions, which paved the way for renewed confidence between the two allies. Field Marshal Asim Munir’s successive visits to Washington and his meetings with President Trump and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif have since opened “a new dimension” in bilateral relations.

Beyond diplomacy, both nations are advancing economic collaboration. A $500 million agreement between U.S. Strategic Metals and Pakistan aims to develop rare-earth mineral facilities, marking a milestone in economic partnership and industrial cooperation. Rubio concluded that the U.S. seeks “partnerships where possible,” underscoring that building ties with Pakistan aligns with a broader global vision of pragmatic engagement rather than rivalry.
