The US and Pakistan pledged to redouble efforts to confront terrorism and Washington committed to help Islamabad overcome its crippling energy deficit but there was no mention of a civil nuclear deal as the two nations ended their upgraded strategic dialogue.
There was also no reference to US' mediation role in Kashmir as was being pushed by the Pakistani officials.
The first-ever Cabinet-level US-Pak Strategic Dialogue that concluded in Washington today also saw the two countries reaffirming the importance of advancing peace and stability in Afghanistan and the region.
Notwithstanding the suspicion in a major section of the Administration over ISI's continued ties with Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), the US pledged to work with Pakistan against terrorism in the region.
"Both sides acknowledged the common threat that terrorism and extremism posed to global, regional and local security," said a joint statement issued by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi at the conclusion of the talks.
