By American Forces Press ServiceWASHINGTON, March 31, 2009 – Executing President Barack Obama’s strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan is the U.S. military's top priority, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told defense leaders from Central Asia who met here today.
Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke to defense leaders from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan at a conference sponsored by U.S. Central Command.
Mullen said the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan requires Americans to look at the situation through the eyes of the people in the region. “This is why conferences like this are so important,” he said. “This is an opportunity to address the challenges together. It will provide a better path for us all to succeed.”
