Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton opened the U.S.-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue by focusing on the heightening and strengthening of a relationship that has been flawed in the past. Clinton says attendees should come to consider security issues in a broad sense, directly addressing Pakistan's military attendees. Foreign Minister Qureshi followed Clinton's statements by highlighting the areas in which the two powers must work together and briefly reviewing the history of diplomatic relations between the two nations.
