According to the spokesman, this act formalizes the strategic partnership between the United States and Pakistan, which is based on a shared commitment to "improving the living condition of the people of Pakistan through sustainable economic development, strengthening democracy and the rule of law, and combating the extremism that threatens Pakistan and the United States."
