Washington: Chairman US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin E Dempsey has said that he had spoken with Pakistan’s army chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani at least five times since the Salala incident that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers on November.
Dempsey told media that the US wanted to reset military-to-military relationship with Islamabad including working the border issues and reopening the ground supply lines through Pakistan to Afghanistan.
“We want to rebuild the trust and confidence between our two militaries,” General Dempsey said.
Gen Dempsey said he believes the two militaries can discuss what must be done in Pakistan’s federally administered tribal areas to improve the situation in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.
