Nato supplies continuing, Munter creates stir

Talking to the media at the Pakistan National Council of Arts, Munter created quite a stir when he claimed that Nato supplies have resumed through Pakistani airspace.When a reporter asked him it was right that despite closure of road routes for Nato, Pakistan’s airspace was being used, Munter said, “You are right.”The supply routes were blocked off following outrage in Pakistan after the November 26 Salala checkpoint attack, in which 24 Pakistani soldiers were killed.The US was made to vacate Shamsi Airbase, which was reportedly being used for drone strikes in Afghanistan and allegedly for those carried out in Pakistan.“As I have commented before many times, what happened was tragic but unintentional and this is something that we all must work together to try to prevent. The way to work together is to make sure these kinds of tragedies do not take place,” Munter said.He said that the US was looking forward to a debate in the Pakistani parliament over conservation of Pak-US ties. “We have waited because we think Pakistan has requested time to rethink about how our relationship should go ahead. We welcome those suggestions, the honesty and the spirit to take things forward.”Cameron Munter the US had strong ties with Pakistan which were strengthening with each passing days. He said that US had the realization of Pakistan’s energy crisis, adding that it extended several million dollars aid to Pakistan for easing out the energy crisis.
