Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Sunday said that Pakistan and the United States are 'engaged' and 'partners' in the war against terrorism. 

"US officials have appreciated Pakistan's stance on Afghanistan during [high-level] meetings," Abbasi said, adding that he did not observe a 'threatening' undertone during his meetings with US representatives. 

The context of US officials' statements in Congress or other forums should be understood, the premier stressed during an interview on Geo News' programme Naya Pakistan. 

"My meetings with US officials, including a brief one with US President Donald Trump, and Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif's meetings with the US Secretary of State [Rex Tillerson] did not have any threatening undertone," Abbasi insisted.
