ISLAMABAD--US Secretary of State John Kerry arrived Monday on an unannounced visit to Pakistan for key talks, only weeks after the country's worst-ever attack by Islamic militants left 150 dead in a school.

"The secretary's engagement will be very critical to advancing our shared fight against militant extremism," a senior State Department official told reporters, saying Kerry would chair the annual strategic dialogue between the two countries.
