Contact: Press Office, 703-650-5550; www.JohnMcCain.com

 

ARLINGTON, Va., August 18 /Standard Newswire/ -- Today, U.S. Senator John McCain issued the following statement on the resignation of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf:

 

"The resignation of President Pervez Musharraf is a step toward moving Pakistan onto a more stable political footing. Pakistan is a critical theater in countering the threat of al Qaeda and violent Islamic extremism, and I look forward to the government increasing its future cooperation.

 

"There are serious problems that must be addressed. The situation in Pakistan's frontier regions requires immediate and continued attention, and I hope that the elections for President Musharraf's successor will serve to reconcile the Pakistani people behind a leader who can solidify their government internally. It is critical that the United States continue to work in partnership with the Pakistani people and their democratically elected government to tackle the many challenges we both face."
