US says 'sorry' for Salala attack: Clinton

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said that the US says “sorry” for the losses suffered by Pakistani military in the Salala check post attack.

Pakistan is re-opening vital Nato supply routes into Afghanistan closed since a deadly November attack, Clinton added.

During a telephone conversation with her Pakistani counterpart Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, she “informed me that the ground supply lines into Afghanistan are opening,” Clinton said.

Islamabad had long said that Washington must apologise for the air raid that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers before it would re-open the routes, closed in anger after the US attack.

“Foreign Minister Khar and I acknowledged the mistakes that resulted in the loss of Pakistani military lives,” Clinton said in a statement.


“We are sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military. We are committed to working closely with Pakistan and Afghanistan to prevent this from ever happening again.”
(wrong sentence underline, It should be like we will not kill Pakistan soldiers again again, I am sorry)

The blockade has forced the alliance to rely on longer, more expensive northern routes through Russia and Central Asia.

Initial hopes of a deal on re-opening the routes fell apart at a Nato summit in Chicago in May amid reports that Pakistan was demanding huge fees for each of the thousands of trucks that rumble across the border every year.

But Clinton said: “Pakistan will continue not to charge any transit fee in the larger interest of peace and security in Afghanistan and the region.


“This is a tangible demonstration of Pakistan’s support for a secure, peaceful, and prosperous Afghanistan and our shared objectives in the region. This will also help the United States and ISAF conduct the planned drawdown at a much lower cost.”

The statement said that the Pakistani minister announced that “no lethal equipment will transit the GLOC into Afghanistan except for equipping the ANSF.

Clinton said that she and the foreign minister spoke about “the importance of taking coordinated action against terrorists who threaten Pakistan, the United States, and the region; of supporting Afghanistan’s security, stability, and efforts towards reconciliation; and of continuing to work together to advance the many other shared interests we have, from increasing trade and investment to strengthening our people-to-people ties.”

She added that both the countries should have a “relationship that is enduring, strategic, and carefully defined, and that enhances the security and prosperity of both our nations and the region.”

The US commander of Nato troops fighting the Taliban welcomed Pakistan’s decision to reopen Nato supply lines into Afghanistan after a seven-month blockade.

General John Allen made the remarks in a statement released in Kabul that also paid tribute to the “sacrifices” made by Pakistani, as well as Afghan and Nato troops in the war.

On the reopening of supply routes, Secretary Defence Leon Panetta said, “I welcome Pakistan’s decision to open the ground lines of communication. As I have made clear, we remain committed to improving our partnership with Pakistan and to working closely together as our two nations confront common security challenges in the region.”

The Salala incident had prompted Pakistan to conduct a policy review of its ties with the US, demanding that the US issue a high-level apology over the incident, and end drone strikes before the routes would be reopened.

The US, on numerous occasions expressed regret over the incident, but did not offer a clear apology as demanded by Pakistan. ISAF Commander General Allen had also offered a “personal apology” to Pakistan army chief.

Clinton’s statement comes as Pakistan holds a meeting of its Defence Committee for Cabinet (DCC), chaired by Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, to discuss the Nato blockade. The meeting is currently underway.

where is Obama? why can't he apology instead Clinton?


thanks! for a nice post.

No transit fees... fk GoP!

to early to conclude, my jazbati quam ke banday!
 
So if i'm correct, they used to pay transit fees in the past, after that they killed our soldiers, and now they say "sorry" and the routes are reopened but no transit fees?

Damn, it's either that the Americans are really good negotiators, or GoP is retarded to the max. I think the latter..
 
And it just Took 220 days , What Vigilant both governments are to Solve the mutual problems , Bravo..
 
What would be the cost of forced apology , that Pakistan will pay in future...:what:
 
Still news are there it is likely to open and no news has confirmed it has been opened.

CC: Pakistan nationalist: Ready to drive if pakistan laws permit it.

Oh i'm sure you're ready..:disagree:
 
And it just Took 220 days , What Vigilant both governments are to Solve the mutual problems , Bravo..
guss, both sides tested everything ,in those 220 days, & after testing all the options in hand, the appology has arrived today!
its late, but still good! for both instead becoming enemies?
 
wait tomorrow will be heavy drone attack just wait same like RD release time :frown:
 
Pakistan finally came out of the dilemma with pride, The US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called Pakistan's foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar and told her that the U.S. is sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military.

As per news, Hilary held a telephonic conversation with Pakistani Foreign Minister and apologized for the Salala Attack mistake

"I offered our sincere condolences to the families of the Pakistani soldiers who lost their lives," Mrs Clinton said.

"Foreign Minister Khar and I acknowledged the mistakes that resulted in the loss of Pakistani military lives.

"We are sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military. We are committed to working closely with Pakistan and Afghanistan to prevent this from ever happening again"


It is not about words, it is not about that we have scored some cheap points or this have comforted our ego that US have apologized to us.
No, it was about Principles and it is great that we stood firm by our principles even in strongest of international pressure.

Pakistan opens Afghan supply line after US apology
By BRADLEY KLAPPER, Associated Press – 14 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration says Pakistan is reopening supply lines into Afghanistan after the U.S. issued an apology for the November killing of 24 Pakistani troops in a NATO airstrike.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says she told Pakistan's foreign minister in a telephone conversation that the U.S. is "sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military." She says both sides acknowledged mistakes that resulted in deaths.
The incident badly damaged already strained relations between the two countries and forced the U.S. and its allies to send supplies via costlier northern routes into Afghanistan.
Clinton said Khar informed her the Pakistani-Afghan supply lines are opening. She said Pakistan won't charge any transit fee, the subject of an earlier negotiation.

But Clinton said: “Pakistan will continue not to charge any transit fee in the larger interest of peace and security in Afghanistan and the region.

“This is a tangible demonstration of Pakistan’s support for a secure, peaceful, and prosperous Afghanistan and our shared objectives in the region. This will also help the United States and ISAF conduct the planned draw down at a much lower cost.”

Congratulations to all Pakistanis, the Pakistan Army and the Government of Pakistan on this great moral victory and the victory of Principles.
