Just as...

She added that continued cooperation will be just as important in the days ahead.

Is words such as 'as it is' omitted at the end of the sentence?

Thanks.

Nothing seems to be missing at the end. However, owing to the sequence of tenses, I would say: She add ed that continued cooperation would be just as important in the days ahead. CB

Not exactly, but it's close. Just as refers to something that has been said before. For example:

"You'll have to pay attention to your diet and taking enough liquids is just as important."

In other words, it is equally important for him to pay attention to his diet and to take enough
