Delegation visits China to discuss security issues, cooperation

BEIJING - A top Pakistani military think tank scholar said that the country would keep fighting the Taliban in Pakistan "to keep them contained", despite mounting criticism from Western countries.

Pakistan has been at the frontline against terrorism, but a semi-annual White House report that was published weeks ago accused the country of lacking a "robust plan" to "defeat the Taliban" and "hold areas cleared of the al-Qaida-linked fighters".
