He said: "The United States needs to find ways to more effectively coordinate and synchronize operations by both nations, and thereby reduce the operating space where the terrorists may function."

The US official also underlined the need to persuade other nations to help Pakistan deal with the problem of terrorism.

"We must design and execute our strategy to assist Pakistan in such a way as to persuade other nations -- many other nations -- to take the problems the Pakistanis confront as seriously as we do," he said.

"Regional, Middle Eastern, European, African, and Asian interests are just as threatened by international terrorism and violent extremism as our own interests here in the Western Hemisphere."

The United States, he said, was also working with Pakistan on a six-year multi-faceted Security Development Plan to enhance the country's ability to secure its border with Afghanistan.

The plan was co-developed by the US embassy in Islamabad and the US Central Command in coordination with the government of Pakistan.

In fiscal years 2007 to 2008, the US Department of Defence provided over $200 million. In 2009, the US administration is seeking at least $100 million for the plan.

Mr Negroponte said that the Pentagon will equip and train special operations units of the Pakistan Army. Training will focus on the Special Services Group and its helicopter mobility unit, the 21st Quick Reaction Squadron, to enhance its ability to execute combat missions in the border region.
