Washington: Top officials from US and Pakistan have discussed methods to work together as partners and mutually support regional stability in the near term in order to fight against terrorism, the White House has said.

During the meeting, Rice commended the role played by Pakistan's delegation led by Minister Khan at the Summit on Countering Violent Extremism.
"They agreed to continue working together as partners against the threat of terrorism," said Bernadette Meehan, Spokesperson of the National Security Council.
