Pakistan blocks NATO supplies

And alot of troops also want to go back.

Some steps taken by the US are too much, and be in no way we termed as co-operation.

The public is demanding now.

Public but not military planners because they don't want to loose this golden hen out of Afghanistan. Remember what said COAS of PA "Afghan forces are not yet ready to take control of security".

Crafting a response: Envoys want less emotion, more strategy in policies

ISLAMABAD: Pakistani diplomats serving in key world capitals have tried to calm down the government over its ‘kneejerk’ reaction to last month’s Nato airstrikes that killed two dozen troops.

Over two dozen ambassadors and high commissioners, who were called to the foreign ministry for urgent deliberations to review ties with the US, on Monday urged the government to immediately reopen supply routes for Nato forces, a participant told The Express Tribune.
The senior diplomats argued that the country’s foreign policy should be based on strategy, not sentiment. “We need to have a long-term relationship with the US,” said an official who asked not to be named. “The policy based on emotionalism is not the solution,” he added.
A top foreign ministry official echoed this view. “There is a sense that Pakistan’s foreign policy should be aligned to its long-term security and development needs,” he said. “We want good relations with all countries and unless relations are based on mutual benefit and mutual trust these cannot be sustained.”
The views expressed by the country’s top diplomatic authorities were in stark contrast to the tough stance taken by the government as well as the military establishment in the aftermath of the Nato attacks.
It is unclear if the government will heed their call, as Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Sunday indicated that Nato supplies could remain suspended for weeks.
There was no official word on the opening day of the conference. When approached, foreign ministry spokesperson Abdul Basit refused to comment on the proceedings. The concluding session will be chaired by the prime minister, after which more concrete decisions are expected to take shape.
The ambassadors were summoned as part of the government announcement to rewrite the terms of engagement with the US, following the Nato raid that plunged the already fragile alliance between Islamabad and Washington into a deeper crisis.
On the first-day of the conference, Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, Finance Minister Abdul Hafeez Sheikh, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff General Khalid Shameem Wynne and Director General Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha briefed the participants.
In his briefing, Hafeez Sheikh warned that complete disassociation with the US would be a “blunder” and would certainly have a negative impact on the country’s fragile economy.
“Though economic indicators are positive, that doesn’t mean we can afford a breakdown in our relationship with the US,” Sheikh was quoted as saying by the official.
General Pasha told the participants that the November 26 attacks on Pakistani check posts reflected “frustration on the part of the US over their lack of success in Afghanistan.” The ISI chief argues that the Americans “have yet to reconcile with the ground realities of the region.”
According to a source, Pasha informed the conference that the US would have to work with Pakistan if it wishes to achieve a sustainable peace in Afghanistan.
However, after the ISI chief and the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff left the meeting, some of the envoys criticised the military’s assessment and approach to dealing with the current situation.
The two-day conference will conclude today (Tuesday).

Islamabad: Envoys’ conference today
The conference of Pakistan’s ambassadors and high commissioners will be in Islamabad today.


To consult on terms of engagement with US in war on terror, a conference of Pakistan’s ambassadors and high commissioners will be launched from today.

Analysts said that main purpose of the two-day conference to be held on Dec 12-13 will focus on the situation emerged after the NATO attacks on Pakistani posts in Mohmand Agency.

“The conference will provide feedback on the current policy of Pakistan and would provide material for future policy formulation,” said Dr Tahir Amin, faculty member, International Relations Department of Quid-e-Azam University.

The attacks tensed Pak-US and Pak-NATO relations as Pakistan was non-NATO ally in war on terror. In few days after the attack Pakistan ordered US to vacate the Shamsi Airbase, operative station of drones. Pakistan also blocked supply route to NATO in Afghanistan besides boycotting the most-awaited Bonn Conference on Afghanistan.

But Pakistan foreign ministry sources made it clear that the conference never mean to retrain relations with US or NATO. Rather it would mean to consider new terms of engagement with Washington and NATO countries.

In his weekly briefing, foreign office spokesman Abdul Basit had also said that the envoys’ conference will deliberate on different aspects of the foreign policy of Pakistan.

Giving details of the conference, the spokesman said that foreign policy is being reviewed under the directives from the decisions taken by federal cabinet and its Defence Committee especially on the issue of Pakistan’s relations with NATO and United States in the backdrop of NATO attacks on Pakistani posts.

Pakistan and NATO have been discussing ‘political frame work’ for their future cooperation.

The foreign office thinks that Pakistan has been pursuing a scrupulous foreign policy aimed at having better relations with all the countries on equal basis and under the charter of United Nations to ensure peace, security and stability in the region.

Anyone want the break relationship with US? Well no, Pakistan will continue to minimum relations with US and best interest of Pakistan.

In his briefing, Hafeez Sheikh warned that complete disassociation with the US would be a “blunder” and would certainly have a negative impact on the country’s fragile economy. “Though economic indicators are positive, that doesn’t mean we can afford a breakdown in our relationship with the US,” Sheikh was quoted as saying by the official.

:lol: Pakistan depend on US aids and economy. We will look forward to hear the outcomes and see how long NATO suspend ongoing.

This Envoy discussion I believe is very careful and wise thinking. The Shamsi Base and three weeks+ of NATO supplies are big steps.
