US wants realistic discussion on recommendations, move forward to reset ties: Munter
Talking to Pakistan Television, he said that the US and Pakistan wanted to work together on common concerns and both sides should have a realistic discussion and move forward to reset bilateral ties.
The ambassador said that both sides wanted to decide on what is the best way to move forward on a policy which addresses counter terrorism, Afghanistan, NATO supply and reconciliation process according to Parliamentary recommendations.
Munter said that the two countries must get rid of their differences and it is about time that Pakistan and the US decide to take their relations forward.
He said that the US wants to help Pakistan resolve its energy crisis by reforming the energy system.
While maintaining that the attack on Salala check post was not deliberate, he said that the US has expressed enormous regret and sorrow over it, and have undertaken steps to ensure that there was no repeat of the events of November 26, 2011.

"Realistic discussion on recommendations" This statement's means that USA doesn't want to talk to Pakistan on 1-Stopping/closing drones' attacks and 2-US' and NATO's officials don't want to open their containers by Pakistani officials.
so earlier they were fooling around as always complained by pakistani people..........
... yup, absolutely ...
these foreigners from another continent need to be very realistic about their prospects in this region ...
... even time for 'declare victory, and run' strategy is fast running out ...
Mr. Munter forgets that it is the US who is the culprit here. No matter what US says, the attack on Salala was deliberate and despicable. It even more painful, when the attack comes from an 'ally' rather than the enemy.
US seems to want to divert attention from their actions to terrorism. This is old hat and will not fly again. First the US President needs to apologize to people of Pakistan for the Sala attack, the US needs to provide a commitment to keep their drones away from Pakistan and thirdly, they need to compensate Pakistan for using its infrastructure, highways, roads etc. Only then should the land route be opened to US.
It costs US $7,000 to transport a container through northern route and only $1,000 through land route in Pakistan. so, how about US splitting the difference with Pakistan?
What Munter means by realistic discussions is that America will do to Pakistan what its soldiers did on the corpses in Afghanistan!!!
This isn't Mush days.
Opposition avd civil society is holding this Govt. accountable.
Shoot drones, block all NATO supply routes(inc air), SAY NO TO AID
