Pakistan
and the US moved a step ahead in
the talks on resumption of NATO
supplies as they started discussion
of technical details of the matter,
sources in the Foreign Ministry
said on May 28, reports Daily
Times. However, they clarified
that the progress did not mean conclusion
of talks. The two sides agreed on
the broad framework of reopening
of the supply lines, besides discussing
the Salala incident, drone attacks
and other issues, nevertheless,
modalities were yet to be decided,
the sources said. “We moved a step
ahead in talks with the US and now
details are under discussion at
technical level,” they said. To
a question about taxation on NATO
supplies, apology on Salala and
the talks on drone strikes, a senior
official on condition of anonymity
said, “We are negotiating all these
issues with a view to resolve them
all in our best national interest.”
However, no major breakthrough had
taken place, he added. |
