She further said that the horrific incident in Peshawar Mosque was very painful, and dealing with terrorism is not only a problem of Pakistan and America but of the international community, America will continue to support Pakistan to prevent terrorism, and security talks between the two countries will be held in a few weeks to prevent terrorism.
