Sherry Rehman meets CENTCOM Commander
Ambassador stresses need work together to build relationship that is equitable, transparent, predictable.
Pakistan’s new Ambassador to the US Sherry Rehman met with the Centcom Commander General James Mattis in the US capital on Wednesday.
In a press release issued by the Embassy of Pakistan, Ambassador Rehman “stressed the need for both countries to work together to build a relationship that is equitable, transparent and predictable.”
Rehman added that Pakistan had endured the most sacrificies than any other country in the war against terror, and that they had also contributed the most towards successes in the war.
The press release adds that the Centcom Commander “acknowledged Pakistan’s contribution, especially the close cooperation of Pakistani military with Nato/Isaf forces in Afghanistan.”
General James Mattis also stressed on the importance of continued collaboration between both countries at all levels, to take the relationship forward “in a mutually beneficial manner.”
The meeting comes at a time when relations between both countries remain strained after the November 26 Nato airstrike which led to the death of 24 Pakistani soldiers. The two leaders met a day after the BBC published excerpts from a leaked Nato report that says Pakistan is supporting the Afghan Taliban.
