US vows to continue relations with Pakistan

Washington: State Department spokesperson, Victoria Nuland has said Pakistan’s parliamentary committee is reviewing Pak-US relations and that the US wanted to provide Pakistan an appropriate time for better dialogue.
In a  regular press briefing, Victoria Nuland said the US wanted to provide Pakistan an appropriate time to resolve its internal issues, adding that its parliamentary committee is reviewing relations with the US.

“Civilian assistance to Pakistan continues and has not been interrupted since the tragic November 26 incident,” the spokesperson noted. The November 26 attacks on Pakistani check posts claimed lives of two dozen Pakistani soldiers, angering the Pakistani nation and the government. After the incident, Islamabad closed NATO supply routes and initiated a full review of ties with the United States, which is nearing its completion.

Pakistan is involved in its internal matters at present, Nuland said.

To a question Victoria Nuland said that US special envoy Marc Grossman wanted to go to Islamabad but did not apply for visa and the news that he was denied visa by Pakistan is not correct.
