Pak to decide on reopening NATO supply routes

The meeting has been called days after the parliament unanimously approved a resolution for resetting the country`s strained relations with the US. The parliament opposed supply of arms to NATO troops through Pakistani air space or land route and called for an immediate cessation of American drone strikes on Pakistani soil.

Ahead of the meeting, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held telephonic talks with her Pakistani counterpart Hina Rabbani Khar and "the two agreed to broaden engagements for pursuit of agreed objectives", a Foreign Ministry statement said here today. Khar told Clinton that Pakistan would "welcome a US delegation to continue the dialogue process on new terms of engagement", the statement said.
