'Pakistan, US should sort differences to prevent devastating consequences'
Krishna says Pakistan, US should sort differences to prevent devastating consequences for other countries.
Indian foreign minister SM Krishna says the United States and Pakistan should sit and ‘sort out their differences’ to prevent ‘devastating consequences’ for other countries, said a report published in the Times of India.
The Indian foreign minister said the two countries should resolve issues between them to create a situation that can help with development in the region.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is currently in Pakistan for talks with top officials. Talks on Thursday between top civil, military and intelligence officials from Pakistan and the US made little progress in the effort to iron out differences on how to tackle the Haqqani network.
The two-hour long discussions, led by Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani and Clinton, were held against the backdrop of strained ties between Washington and Islamabad following charges by US officials that Pakistan is playing a ‘double game’ when it comes to dealing with militants.
Relations between Pakistan and the US deteriorated dramatically over the May 2 American special forces raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad and US accusations over the September 13 US embassy siege in Kabul.
