Summary Pentagon says US is ready to have a dialogue with Pakistani government on parliament resolution.

US Defence Department spokesman George Little said that we are waiting for parliamentary recommendations of Pakistan but is doesn’t mean that all the conditions of Pakistan are acceptable.It is worthy of note that last day, PCNS put some recommendations in the joint session of parliament regarding restoration of Nato supply and other regional issues.The 14-point recommendations‚ presented by Chairman of the Committee Mian Raza Rabbani in the session on Thursday evening‚ envisage that relationship with the United States should be based on mutual respect for the sovereignty‚ independence and territorial integrity of each other.It said that the US footprint in Pakistan must be reviewed. This would mean an immediate cessation of drone attacks inside Pakistan‚ the cessation of infiltration into Pakistani territory on any pretext‚ including hot pursuit; and Pakistani territory including its air space shall not be used for transportation of arms and ammunition to Afghanistan.He said that attack on Salala check post was diametrically violation of international law and the US should not only seek apology on this issue but the military officers involved in this conspiracy must be brought to justice.He said that no verbal agreements would be made with the US, adding that all the verbal accords with the US made in past have come to an end.Pakistan is determined to exterminate extremism and terrorism in the region but there would be no compromise on atomic assets, he concluded.He said that no airbase in the country would be allowed to be used for transportation of ammunition.
