Washington: The United States (US) State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland on Monday said that the US and Pakistan have made ‘considerable progress’ in talks aimed at reopening Nato supply routes into Afghanistan.
Giving a press briefing to media, the spokesperson said that a US team is still in Islamabad working on the land route issue.
“My understanding this morning is that they have made considerable progress but they are still working,” Victoria Nuland said.
“They are not yet finished with the Pakistanis,” Nuland told reporters, declining to give details on the substance of the talks between the two sides.
“But we’re having a full review with the government of Pakistan on how this transit system works and all of the issues are on the table in that context,” she added.
Pakistan has halted Nato supplies from its Afghan border after US air strikes killed 24 soldiers on November 26, provoking a major crisis in bilateral ties on top of the outcry from the raid that killed Osama bin Laden last May.
