Rifts between Pakistan, US healed: FM Khar




Islamabad: Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar has said on Wednesday that the military and intelligence ties between the US and Pakistan have been fully repaired.

She said that Pakistan will take further cooperate with the United States to stabilise Afghanistan before most Nato combat troops withdraw by 2014.

“There was a fairly difficult patch and I think we’ve moved away from that into a positive trajectory,” the minister told Reuters in an interview, referring to Pakistani-US relations.



“We are coming closer to developing what could be common positions. We wish to see a responsible transition in Afghanistan.”

Pakistan’s relation with the US became tense last year when a CIA contractor Raymond Davis shot dead two men he suspected of trying to rob him in the city of Lahore.

In May 2011, the rift deepened when US special forces killed Osama bin Laden in a raid in the city of Abbottabad, ruffling Pakistan’s army feathers.

The crisis touched its nadir when the US ‘mistakenly’ killed 24 Pakistani soldiers in November 2011, prompting Pakistan to close supply routes for trucks carrying supplies to US-led Nato forces in Afghanistan.

Pakistan also expelled US military trainers and CIA agents in response and placed limits on the numbers of visas given to US diplomatic personnel.

Now, Khar said, relations were fully repaired, including military and intelligence contacts. “We are having very useful, deep conversations with the US,” she said, as the two countries try to find common ground on Afghanistan ahead of the scheduled 2014 withdrawal.
