WASHINGTON - In the face of Pakistan's tough stand following last month's NATO cross-border attack, the US has been making overtures to repair the ties, and a senior official on Friday expressed the desire for a ‘closer, more productive relationship with Pakistan militarily and as well as politically’.
‘It’s too important’, acting State Department spokesman Mark Toner said of the Washington-Islamabad relationship and the need to work together.
‘And we’re constantly working to build that closer cooperation.
As I said, we’ve been very forthright in acknowledging that this is a relationship that needs to work’, Toner added.
