However, he added that the US embassy in Pakistan could be asked for details, whcih they would be \u2018happy\u2019 to provide. \u201cBut I think I see where you\u2019re going with the question, and so I will reiterate what I\u2019ve said a number of times, which is that the United States does not take any position with respect to the outcome of an election in Pakistan,\u201d he said in response to a question about the meeting. He added that the US does not support any political party or candidate in Pakistan and urges \u2018free and fair\u2019 elections across the world. Miller was also asked about the dollar rate being \u2018four times stronger\u2019 in Afghanistan compared to Pakisan. In response, he only commented about support for economic reforms in Pakistan. \u201cI\u2019ve spoken to this on a number of occasions about our support for reforms that would allow the improvement of the economy in Pakistan, and will continue to do so,\u201d he said.
