Washington: Pentagon said that the NATO supply routes were important, hoping that the routes closed by Pakistan could be reopened in the future.
Addressing a press conference Pentagon’s Press Secretary George Little said while ISAF commander General Allen and ISAF were making contingency plans to compensate the logistics efforts, however the closure of the supply routes had not led to a significant impact in the US’ ability to “provide for the war effort.”
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Captain John F. Kirby added that the decision to open the supply routes is up to the Government of Pakistan.
The supply routes were closed by Pakistan as a consequence of the NATO airstrike on November 26 that led to the death of 24 Pakistani soldiers. US wants Pakistani officers to return to coordination centers
