President Obama Discusses Pakistan

As President Obama makes his rounds in Asia, he hopes to bring peace and prosperity between India and Pakistan.  In a town-hall style speech he said, “The country that has the biggest stake in Pakistan’s success is India.  I think that if Pakistan is stable and prosperous, that is good.”  His speech was well received. 

"My hope is that over time trust develops, and dialogue begins," Obama also said. "The U.S. stands to be a partner in that process, but can't impose that."  Communication is always key, on every level imaginable.

Shortly after hearing word of the speech in India, Pakistani Ambassador Husain Haqqani wrote on Twitter, 

“Pakistan looks forward to President Obama's visit in 2011 and hopes that his trip to India will create opportunity for lasting peace in the region.”  Hopefully that was also well received.

Like Obama, we believe that communication is necessary and so is the creation of dialogue.  Through StanaCard’s services, this is even easier and cheaper than ever, because we have lowered the rates to Pakistan: 5.35¢ per minute!  Click here to check it out!
