Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Monday said Pakistan wanted to have good relations with the United States based on mutual respect and clearly defined parameters. We hope, we really want to have good relations with the US based on mutual respect and clearly defined parameters. I think that is doable. I think that it wont take long, Gilani said in an interview with The Associated Press. The Prime Minister, however, added that new ties being negotiated with the US would ensure that the two countries respected each others red lines regarding sovereignty and rules of engagement along the border. I think we have evolved some mechanisms, and we are ready to cooperate, he said regarding peace efforts in Afghanistan. We are committed (to reconciliation), despite that we are not attending (the Bonn meeting), Gilani said.
