Pakistan's Ambassador
to the United
States (US),
Sherry Rehman
said on March
21 that decision
on NATO supply
routes would
be made in national
interest of
the country,
reported The
News. Rehman
said recommendations
by the Parliament
would help restore
confidence,
adding, that
no compromise
would be made
on country’s
sovereignty
and national
integrity.
Meanwhile, US Secretary
of State Hillary
Clinton said
that the US
and Pakistan
shared interests
in fighting
terrorism, reports
Daily Times.
Clinton declined
to comment in-depth
on the Parliamentary
Committee on
National Security’s
(PCNS) recommendations
but said that
the US was committed
to an “honest,
constructive,
mutually beneficial
relationship
with Pakistan”.
“We’ve been
working through
these difficulties
and challenges.
We believe we
have shared
interests. We
believe we have
the same enemies,”
Clinton said
at a news conference
with Afghan
Foreign Minister
Zalmai Rassoul
in Washington.
“We believe
that it’s important
to support counterterrorism
against the
insurgents who
kill and maim
tens of thousands
of Pakistani
people, who
send teams across
the border to
kill and maim
people in Afghanistan
and to kill
and maim our
soldiers and
others,” Clinton
added.
