Pakistan Ambassador to the United States Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry says Islamabad and Washington need to work together to achieve peace in Afghanistan.   

Speaking at a lecture session titled "Diplomatic Encounters Series" at the University of Chicago, he said both countries must also work together to resolve the problems they currently face. 

Terming the US and Pakistan relations very crucial, the Ambassador said there are some misunderstandings between the two countries and putting on hold or cutting off bilateral relations will not solve anything.

He praised organization's projects aimed for uplifting underprivileged communities around the globe.

During question answer session, the Ambassador responded to the questions on Pakistan's foreign and internal policies including Pakistan's relations with the US, Afghanistan and India.
