Pakistan wants undisputed relation with US: FO
The spokesperson said Pakistan wants an undisputed relation with US and authorities on both sides shall avoid giving undue statements.
Janjua was talking about Cameron Munter's statement, in which he said that Pakistan is having strong links with the Haqqani Network.
As reported earlier, the US ambassador to Pakistan, Munter said the Pakistan-based Haqqani militant network was behind last week’s Kabul siege and there is evidence linking the group to the Pakistan government.
In blunt comments broadcast by Radio Pakistan on Saturday, Ambassador Munter said: “Let me tell you that the attack that took place in Kabul a few days ago that was the work of the Haqqani network.
Janjua said that extensive dialogue is the need of the hour to strengthen the relations between the two countries.
Janjua added that Munter's recent statement would be brought under discussion in the upcoming ministers meetings.
Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly mentioned Tehmina Janjua as a minister. The correction has been made.

@Pundit:
Yar pundit say some thing new.
The game is up. The US finally realized that Afghanistan and India were right that our dear Pakistan cannot be trusted. Good Pakistanis are losing the battle against our criminals, thieves, and terrorists. Please fight back!
@Cautious, Thanks for your pearls of wisdom. Foreign office contribution towards English language and literature is monumental. I have learnt so many phrases , here is a sample 1. Supreme national interest 2. Doctrine of necessity 3. All stake holders taken abroad 4. Strategic depth 5. existential threat 6. Target killers 7. All weather friend and now 8. Undisputed relations.
Thank You foreign office.
Pakistan wants an undisputed relation with US . That's Pakistani speak for "we wish the USA would remain quiet and quit reminding the World that we are protecting terrorist". Ain't going to happen.
Undisputed relations ? What does that absurd term mean ? Anathor bogus expression that means nothing ? Readers please enlighten me .
@ asif: "she is Foreign Office spokesperson not minister:-)"
Maybe the Express Tribune knows more than u and me!
Dear Madam. "The minister said Pakistan wants an undisputed relation with US "
Itsnot what Pakistan wants, but what US Wants.
Even the semblance of equality between of US and Pakistan was lost when OBL was "discovered" as a long time resident of Abbottabad.
Let's make up our mind..do we want to be in the good books of US or not?
I thought US was our enemy number 1 and all of us wanted the Yankees out of our country...and suddenly we are told this !!
"Janjua said that extensive dialogue is the need of the hour to strengthen the relations between the two countries" Ms Janjua, if I may add the most urgent need of the hour is that we must quit at once playing on both side of the road. The US has shown an enormous amount of patience and tolerance for the last ten years. but after OBL episode and the treasure trove of information that fell in their hands please believe me, it is not the same any more. I do not think people are that much interested to know what actually is going on behind the scenes we can only guess and for that matter if FO does not want to share it with them it is no problem. But if the Foreign Office wants to share it, I am quite certain they would appreciate an honest, truthful and credible statement which cannot be disputed later on, otherwise a lie is a lie even if a thousands lies are told to cover it.
Everytime they come up with such a statement, we're in for a surprise!
Where are the editors??!! This is a glaring mistake:
"Janjua was talking about Cameron Munter’s statement, in which he said that Pakistan is having strong links with the Haqqani Network"
The sentence should read ...."in which he said that Pakistan has strong links with..."
Such poor use of the English language in a newspaper of such high caliber is utterly disappointing. Its absolutely unacceptable!!
--Disgusted reader
she is Foreign Office spokesperson not minister:-)
Pakistan and America should realise the reality of the situation . The only party benefitting from the row is the Mulla Alliance
